Kirby & Knott Financial Planning

After chatting with new clients, we often hear they wish they’d considered salary sacrifice for their pension earlier.

This option, offered by many employers, allows you to save on tax and National Insurance contributions, effectively boosting your retirement savings.

Simply put, when you sacrifice a portion of your salary before it’s paid to you, it lowers your taxable income. This means you could pay less tax and grow your nest egg faster.

If you’re looking for ways to enhance your pension contributions in a tax-efficient manner, salary sacrifice is definitely worth considering sooner rather than later.

Last week we had the pleasure of Harry completing his work experience with us. It was great having him observe how the practice works and showing him the career opportunities within financial planning. We have popped below how he felt his week went …

‘The team are very welcoming and are generous, not only with their time but their sharing of knowledge. I have learnt about the financial planning sector but also learnt money tips that I will be utilising in the future. It’s been good fun and a brilliant work experience and for that I’m very grateful. Overall I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in finance, Kirby and Knott seems to be an excellent business to be a part of… great team, good laughs and a top experience.’

Thanks Harry, we wish you all the best for your future. We’re sure whatever path you choose to follow, you will do well!
