A Day in the Life: Evie Beaumont, IFA at Lincolnshire Independent Financial Advisers
Evie Beaumont, an independent financial adviser (IFA) at Lincolnshire Independent Financial Advisers, has shared insights into her typical working day. Her role covers a range of responsibilities, including mortgages, pensions, investments, and client support.
Beaumont starts her day early, taking an hour-long walk with her dogs before heading to her office, which is a short walk from her home. She arrives at the office by 9:30am and begins by checking and responding to emails. Her daily tasks can include two to three client meetings, completing applications, conducting affordability assessments, and preparing recommendation reports.
A significant part of Beaumont's role involves communication with clients, lenders, providers, and business development managers. She notes that the variation in her work, from client situations to lender criteria and product availability, keeps her job interesting and challenging.
Beaumont highlights that her responsibilities extend beyond just mortgage applications. She provides guidance to clients on what they need to do in the years and months before applying for a mortgage, as well as support after the mortgage is in place. She aims to ensure clients are informed and protected for the future.
Building relationships with clients and professionals is a key aspect of her job, allowing her to expand her knowledge and experience. Beaumont finds fulfilment in helping clients achieve their property goals, especially in challenging circumstances.
After work, she unwinds with another walk with her dogs and enjoys activities such as cooking, reading, and listening to podcasts.
