Personal financial planning & corporate pensions
“I’m a passionate golfer. I’ve recently returned from life as a touring professional to amateur status, and I now compete worldwide as one of Ireland’s leading amateur players. Golf teaches you patience, discipline, and how to stay focused on the long game. That’s exactly how I approach looking after my clients’ financial futures.
My name is Jonathan Yates and I’m a Financial Advisor here at LHW.
I work with private and corporate clients, from individuals planning retirement to business owners preparing to exit. I also work with families protecting what they’ve built, and companies managing employee benefits.
I help my clients get complete clarity on their finances, so they have the freedom to live the life they’ve worked hard for.
The biggest thing I’ve learned, and I say this to every client, is that the earlier you start, the more options you have. Whether it’s a pension, a protection plan, or an exit strategy, time is the most valuable asset you have. Don’t wait until the pressure is on.
This job is about the relationships. Seeing a client go from uncertainty to confidence. Knowing their plan is in place and their future is secure, that’s what gets me up in the morning. That’s the LHW difference.
