Katharine Ross

Financial Planner & Client Services Manager

What does financial planning mean to me? It means ensuring you have the best life you can.

Professionally

Katharine has worked in financial services for almost 30 years.

She is one of our Financial Planners and is working towards her chartered status. Her area of expertise is Pensions, but she can help in all areas of Financial Planning.

Helping clients is Katharine’s favourite thing about her job. She loves how hard the whole team work to ensure we get the best outcome for every client and ensure they can enjoy the best life they possibly can.

Personally

Katharine is married and has three children.

She loves British history, especially the royal family, as well as cycling, walking and going away on holiday.

In the spotlight

On an ideal weekend, you can find me

Going for a long walk that ends in a country pub with a nice G&T.

My favourite holiday destination is

Anywhere with my family.

My favourite song to play in the car is

Mainly cheesy pop, but I also love a bit of 70s. I think my fave is The Real Thing, ‘You To Me Are Everything’.

The first album I bought was

Living in a Box.

If I could be any fictional character, I would be

Atticus Finch – To Kill a Mockingbird. I love what a great father and role model he is. I also love how he fights so hard to do the right thing

If I could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, I would win a medal in

Friendship. Other than my children, my long-term friendships are my greatest achievement.

When the dessert menu arrives, I’m looking for

Anything chocolate.

The three qualities that draw me to new people are

Friendliness and kindness with a bit of quirkiness thrown in.

My pet peeve is

Rudeness.

The best gift I’ve ever received is

I can’t choose one thing – I am so grateful for everything I have ever been given. Aren’t all gifts fantastic?!

The three people at my dream dinner party would be

My dad….and then it would be so hard to choose. I have so many questions for so many people – mainly politicians! Lots of ‘why?’!!!

The three small things that make my day better are

Helping people, laughter and wine!

Your colleague describes you in three words as

Meticulous, thorough and self-effacing.
