Sky News request; Are you an independent financial adviser?

Journalist: Jess Sharp, Sky News

ended 25. March 2026

Hello

I hope you are well! 

I'm looking for a financial adviser to take part in the What It's Really Like To Be A… series for the Sky News Money blog.

You would need to answer a list of questions over email and send over a photograph. You can see some examples from the series here - What's It Really Like To Be A.. Driving Instructor, What It's Really Like To Be A...Teacher, and What It's Really Like To Be A... Dentist. 

We wouldn't need the responses straight away, but by the end of next week would be great. 

If you would like to take part, or have questions, email me at jessica.sharp@sky.uk. 

Many thanks 

Jess

Hi Jessica,

I would be very happy to help. Having spent 15 years working in asset management and hedge funds, and now as a financial adviser, I’ve found that finance is fundamentally quite straightforward when it’s explained clearly.

If it helps it might be useful to look at the intro video on our dedicated website www.comptonfiancial-ifa.co.uk.

It talks through why financial advise is actually fairly straightforward and my journey through financial services.

Regards,

Martin
