Local Expertise
Financial advice
in Ilminster
Ilminster sits between Chard and Taunton; clients here often want a local, accessible adviser by phone and video, with whole-of-market choice for mortgages, pensions, and family protection.
Investment questions frequently focus on ISAs, using allowances tax-efficiently, and building diversified portfolios for professionals and business owners in the area.
I also support people in nearby areas such as Yeovil, Chard, Taunton and Crewkerne, all on the same phone- and video-first basis.
Working with a local adviser in Ilminster also means continuity, the same person through mortgage moves, protection reviews, pension changes, and investment decisions.
Serving Somerset
Based in Yeovil, I work with clients across Somerset, mostly by phone and online, including Ilminster and surrounding areas.

My Approach
Clear advice,
no complexity
Hi, I'm Michael Hawkins. I've been helping individuals and families across Ilminster and the wider Somerset 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.

What is the client hub and practice engine?
