Putting life at the centre of financial advice

Who we are

Traditional financial advice forgets about the human beings behind the numbers. At Porta Partners, we’re different. We start with your life goals and work backwards to the financial plan.

We ask City professionals and business owners the really important questions like: What do you really want? More time with family? The freedom to retire early? To travel without worrying?

As financial advisers, our sole aim is to help you make those aspirations a reality. Because financial freedom isn’t about a number on a spreadsheet. It’s about the life it lets you live.

What we do

Put simply, we translate money into meaning. Not abstract wealth, but real lives, families and futures. We’re not just financial advisers – our clients call us their trusted guides through life’s big decisions.
Growing your money
Financial growth isn’t about stacking up more money. It’s about the freedom to make choices, take opportunities and build a secure future for you and your family. We help you grow your finances for what actually matters: time together, stability for the people you love and the confidence to move life forward.
Managing your money

Life doesn’t stay still. Careers shift, families grow, priorities change. So we keep your financial plan on track, adapting it as life evolves so your goals, investments and decisions stay aligned. It’s clear, jargon-free ongoing financial advice that helps you feel confident and in control and ready for what’s next.

Protecting your money
Protection isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about feeling confident that the people and plans you care about are safe if life changes unexpectedly. We help you put the right safeguards in place so everything you’ve worked for is preserved, giving you peace of mind and security – whatever life throws at you.

Who we help

Having been advising clients for over 20 years, with 100+ years of combined adviser experience, we offer financial advice to people from all walks of life. There are no stereotypes and no minimum investment.

We’re trusted by over 1,000 professionals, business owners and families across London and the UK, who’ve started to ask ‘Am I OK?’ or ‘Have I got enough?’.

Maybe you’ve had a promotion, sold a business, inherited some money or simply realised it’s time to get your finances in order.

Whatever’s brought you here, we’ve got you. We’ll cut through the jargon, create a clear, practical financial plan to help you make your goals a reality, and give you the reassurance that you’re doing the right thing – today and for the years ahead.

City Professionals
You’ve worked hard to build a great career. We make sure the rewards of that career work just as hard to support your life goals now and in the future.
Business Owners
You’ve invested years of graft into your business. We help you make that effort count by creating a financial plan that delivers lasting impact for you and your family.
Families
Family life is full on, so your finances shouldn’t add to the noise. We help you bring order to it all, so today feels lighter and your children’s future stays firmly in focus.

Why we do it

We believe money should give you choices, not headaches – that’s what gets us out of bed every day. We love seeing clients realise they can do more than they thought – whether that’s work less, travel more, help their kids sooner, or just breathe a bit easier.

Seeing people go from anxious about the future to seeing new possibilities and confidently making them happen – that’s the bit that never gets old.

We recently onboarded with Porta Partners after a thorough search for a financial adviser who could handle the full complexity of our situation. From the first conversation they were thorough, personable, and clearly across the detail. It's early days but we're already confident we're in good hands. Highly recommend

We have the pleasure of working with James and Hannah over the last couple of months and the initial experience is fantastic. They took time to understand our circumstances and objectives, reviewed our current positions and then laid out a jargon free strategy. We look forward to working with them for the future.

One of the best decisions I’ve made was talking to these guys. Professional from the start. They’ve really sorted out my finances…. to the extent that I’m now very optimistic about what the future looks like for me and, most importantly, my family.

Who we are

We’ve built a close-knit team with decades of combined experience and a shared commitment to keeping financial advice life-focused, human and jargon-free.

Different backgrounds, one shared belief: The money clients entrust to us represents years of hard work and sacrifice. So every financial plan is created with the exact same care, thought and long-term focus we’d want for our own families.

What makes us different

Life-first planning
We start with your life – the goals, choices and priorities that matter most – then build the financial plan around them.
Radical transparency
No jargon. No hidden agendas. Just clear, upfront fees and honest advice that always puts you first.
Clarity that cuts through
We turn financial complexity into simple, confident decisions you can actually act on.
Real, human partnership
Approachable, genuine and steady – we care about you, your family and your future, not just your finances.
Decades of experience
Chartered, FCA-regulated and trusted by 1,000+ professionals, families and business owners.
Family-first fee structure
We charge by household, not by person. So as your family’s pot increases, the percentage you pay goes down.

Ask us anything

Every week, clients ask us brilliant questions and we answer them here. Our Ask Us Anything blog is just one way we live our values of radical transparency, honesty and clarity. Real questions, real answers, zero complex financial jargon.
