Matthew Birkett is a Chartered Financial Planner and Co-Founder of Birkett Financial Planning. With a background in elite sport and a Master’s in Business Administration, he brings over 20 years of experience helping people plan for long-term success.
In 2019, Matthew and his wife Clare founded Birkett Financial Planning with the belief that good financial planning can change lives for the better. After a 15-year career in sport, where he held senior executive roles in national governing bodies, Matthew retrained as a financial planner to continue his passion for helping people achieve their goals.
The Practice now supports business owners, professionals and families across the UK, with many clients seeking clarity around retirement, financial security and using their wealth with purpose. Matthew takes pride in building long-term relationships, offering advice in plain English and helping clients make confident decisions at a pace that feels right for them.
Looking ahead, his vision is to grow the business carefully while keeping family values and personal service at its core. By combining trusted relationships with modern planning tools, Birkett Financial Planning aims to make financial planning clearer, more accessible and a source of confidence for more families.
