There are lots of universal things that people can do, which make up a large proportion of the recipe for financial success, that are much simpler than you think.

Rather than keep them to myself and share them only with my clients, I want to share them with you to help educate, encourage and give you the confidence to take action.

Welcome to James Talks Finance, the show where we aim to simplify the world of personal finance and financial planning to enable you to get control and take action to a more successful financial future. Presented by James Wallis, a Chartered Financial Planner and financial planning business owner with more than a decade of experience helping people with their finances.

The world of finance can be complicated, filled with jargon and acronyms and generally difficult to get your head around.

But it doesn’t have to be that way!

There are also lots of opinions and resources out there, often from people without any practical experience or knowledge beyond what they have picked up, and with no accountability for being incorrect.

With the commitment that I will try my absolute best to avoid any jargon, acronyms or complicated industry lingo you won’t understand!

Over the series, we will go through lots of the universal basics everyone should be working on with their finances, and delve deeper into certain areas.
