Waymark Financial Limited, 34 Lime Street, London, EC3M 7AT
At work
Jonathan’s career in financial services began at Waymark, nine years ago, in the summer of 2014, where he started as a trainee adviser.
Since qualifying as an Independent Financial Adviser in 2016, Jonathan focuses on providing advice to Waymark’s clients, who are either preparing for or at retirement. He achieved Chartered Financial Planner status in 2023.
Mark Wilson, our Founder, had been preparing Jonathan to take over from him as he neared retirement. This meant that when Mark was taken ill last year, and then tragically died, Jonathan was ready to step up to fill Mark’s shoes.
Jonathan was appointed a Director in 2022.
At home
Outside work, Jonathan enjoys spending the time with his wife Krystyna, enjoying good food and wine with friends and family.
He has a great love of music and plays guitar.
His travels take him mainly to Andalusia, especially Seville, where his wedding was held in 2022.
Jonathan in the spotlight
My proudest moment as a financial adviser was:
Being able to continue Mark’s legacy and take the business forward, with the full support of our wonderful clients.
The three things I love most about my job are:
Being able to improve people’s lives with the satisfaction that a strong plan is in place; the proactive and engaging relationships you develop with clients and the ability to constantly learn and improve.
The three words my colleagues would use to describe me are:
Approachable, diligent and professional.
On an ideal weekend, you can find me:
Enjoying our home and the great city of London with my wife, Krystyna, spending time with friends or visiting my parents in Leicestershire.
My favourite holiday is:
Where the food and wine is great, the sun is shining and I can take some time out to relax.
I turn the radio up when they play:
John Mayer, The National, Paul Thomas Saunders and ACDC – I listen to a lot of music and typically I’ll let an album roll when I’m travelling somewhere.
The three people at my dream dinner party would be:
Three’s not enough!
The three small things that make my day better are:
People, sunshine and working with the team.
The important stuff
All regulated financial advisers must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and therefore appear on their register. You can find Jonathan’s entry here.
Furthermore, all advisers must have an up-to-date Statement of Professional Standing (SPS). This shows they are suitably qualified and have carried out the required amount of Continuous Professional Development (CPD). You should be wary of any advisers who refuse to provide copies of their SPS.
An adviser’s SPS must be renewed annually. We can provide you with a copy of Jonathan’s SPS on request.
