Sam Dowse
Independent Financial Adviser
Financial advice is crucial throughout life, I believe however there are 2 main occasions which need an additional focus. Changing careers and approaching retirement. I am passionate about helping clients navigate these tricky times. My main goal is simple, to create financial security for clients and their family, setting them up for a long and happy retirement.
This can be achieved by homing in on a few key areas, tax efficiency, investment performance and saving diligently. I recently wrote an article on the importance of seeking advice whilst navigating key career changes which can be viewed here.
Outside of the office I am an avid traveller and a keen sportsman often found on the football field or tennis court.

Absolutely fantastic. We were a little nervous about getting financial advice because of the complexities involved, but Sam and the team could not have been more supportive and helpful. From the first moment we chatted, we knew were in good hands and they have been clear and honest every step of the way. We feel 100% confident with their advice and support and I just regret that we didn't contact them earlier.
Consolidating pensions can be a daunting task, just where to start..?With Humboldt, I found the most helpful advice from Sam (Independent financial advisor), who has been able to take me through the journey. Sam has presented my options clearly and help me understand the steps I can take now, to make for a more comfortable and financially secure future. Pensions made simple with Humboldt! And the investor, AJ Bell, has an app! Jeez, who doesn’t love an app…
I had a very positive experience with Sam Dowse of Humboldt Financial when assessing my pension options. I found him to be very responsive, knowledgeable and proactive. He presented all the options and information in a very approachable format. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone concerned about their current pension provision and what can be done to get it on track
