Organisations and Sports Professionals

As a professional sports person, the dedication to your craft does not allow you the time to ensure that your current and future finances are in good order.

All too often, we see professional sports people trusting the handling of their financial affairs to individuals and organisations who are incentivised short-term, paying inadequate attention to the whole of life plan.  Post-retirement, the focus of the former is on their active clients, leading to the client being exposed.

As a PKF Smith Cooper client, we will ensure that your financial affairs are structured efficiently, with a clear focus around your post retirement plans and requirements, allowing you and your family financial peace of mind.

We have an intimate understanding of the specific challenges facing sports professionals, with specific experience in boxing, cycling, cricket, tennis, and football.

Some of the services we can help with

  • Audit, Accounts and Assurance Services
  • Private Client Services
  • Wealth Management, Pensions, Trusts etc
  • Family Investment Companies
  • Family Office 

Our partner-led, experienced team offer clients a truly committed and lasting partnership.
