Consult Kingsley

I am Ryan Kingsley AKA Consult Kingsley, a qualified Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) and mortgage broker with a decade of experience in the financial services industry who makes content on social media.

 

I guide clients through their financial journey, offering investment & holistic financial planning advice to help them achieve their financial goals with confidence.​

​

My Background ​

 

I wasn’t always in finance. I grew up in Croydon, South London, as part of a close-knit family of five, raised by my incredible mum. Like many, I didn’t follow the traditional route, I didn’t go to university and I didn’t finish college. But life has a way of pushing you in the right direction, and in my early 20s, I found myself in the world of finance.

 

I quickly realised that the value of money isn’t just about earning it, but about making it work for you and your goals. ​ Having come from a background where I learned the true value of money, I can relate to clients on a deeper level. I understand the importance of budgeting, planning, and setting realistic financial goals.

​

Outside of Work ​

 

I like discovering great street food, which is one of my favourite ways to explore different cultures. I’m also an avid fan of science fiction novels and am currently in the process of writing my own science fiction book – a dream I’ve always had. In the past, I spent 12 years training in kickboxing, which taught me the value of discipline, focus, and perseverance, qualities I bring to my professional life as well. I’m also a big movie buff, so if you're ever looking for recommendations, I’ve got plenty to share.
