My Approach
Clear advice,
no complexity
Hi, I'm Michael Hawkins. I've been helping individuals and families across Dorchester and the wider Dorset area with their financial planning for years. As a completely independent FCA regulated financial Adviser, I offer whole of market access.
Why independence matters: Unlike restricted Advisers who can only recommend from a limited panel, I can search the entire UK market for the best product at the most competitive price.
I got tired of the old way of doing business, so I put years of experience into a system that makes life easier for both of us. Your client hub brings onboarding, factfinding, documents, messages, reminders, and reviews together in one place, while a practice engine behind the scenes keeps everything moving and cuts duplication and repetitive typing. Once you have tried it, going back to scattered emails and paper chasing rarely feels worth it. Pensions and investments follow the same hub model as mortgages and protection.

Quick answers
Investments in Dorchester
How do appointments work if I'm in Dorchester?
By phone and video, I normally start with a free 30-minute call. Your client hub keeps the journey clear from wherever you're based in Dorchester or the wider Dorset area, without logistics getting in the way.
Is Dorchester inside your usual advice area?
Yes. I work across Somerset, Dorset and Devon, with Dorchester as one of the areas I support regularly. I also support people in nearby areas such as Weymouth, Poole, Bridport and Sherborne, all on the same phone- and video-first basis.
Are you an independent investment adviser in Dorchester?
Yes. I am FCA-regulated and whole of market; recommendations come from the full UK market, not a restricted lender or provider panel. I am based in Yeovil and serve Dorchester and surrounding Dorset areas.
Can you advise on ISAs and investments if I live in Dorchester?
Yes. Investment advice for Dorchester clients covers ISAs, general investment accounts and portfolio planning with risk profiling and tax-efficient structuring. The same independent research applies whether you are building wealth for the medium term or alongside pension planning in Dorset.
Should I invest in an ISA or pension if I live in Dorchester?
Pensions attract tax relief on contributions; ISAs offer flexible access. The right mix depends on age, income, and when you need the money. I model both for Dorset clients.
What is the minimum to start investing in Dorchester?
Many platforms accept regular contributions from modest amounts. Risk profiling and capacity for loss are documented before any recommendation, regardless of pot size.
What is the client hub and practice engine?
I got tired of the old way of doing business, so I put years of experience into a system that makes life easier for both of us. Your client hub brings onboarding, factfinding, documents, messages, reminders, and reviews together in one place, while a practice engine behind the scenes keeps everything moving and cuts duplication and repetitive typing. Once you have tried it, going back to scattered emails and paper chasing rarely feels worth it. Pensions and investments follow the same hub model as mortgages and protection.
