Trusted Specialist Support
The people we bring in when something falls outside financial advice — and the reason you only have to explain it once.
Plenty of what lands on an athlete is not a financial planning question. A contract that needs reading properly, tax across two countries, a payment arriving in euros, a family matter that nobody wants to handle badly.
Finding the right person for each of those, cold, while you are mid-season, is the part that goes wrong.
A network we actually use and can vouch for:
Sports accountants — self-assessment, image rights, limited company structures, overseas earnings. Solicitors — contract review, property, family and private client work. Foreign exchange specialists — moving earnings between currencies without losing a chunk to the spread, which matters on an overseas contract or a transfer abroad. Alongside those, tax advisers and specialist insurance underwriters where a mainstream insurer will not write the risk.
“I’m moving abroad and I don’t know where I’ll be taxed.” “I’m being paid in euros.” “I need someone to read this contract before I sign it.” “My accountant doesn’t really understand how sport pays.”
Usually it comes up at short notice, which is exactly when having someone to ring is worth something.
You tell us the problem once. We work out who should handle it, make the introduction, and share the context so you are not starting from the beginning again.
Then we make sure their advice and ours line up, because a tax decision and a pension decision made separately have a habit of pulling against each other.
Since working with Franklyn, they’ve opened my eyes to areas you don’t even think about as a sportsperson, and that insight has already been hugely valuable.
