About Renaissance Financial

Renaissance Financial is an independent financial planning and wealth management practice based in Brighton, providing investment, pension, tax and estate planning advice to clients across across England and Wales.

Our team builds long-standing relationships with clients and their families, offering tailored advice and a personal service built on trust rather than one-off transactions.

What we believe in

Three things guide how we work:

  • Transparency. We give clear, straightforward advice, explained in plain English rather than jargon. You should always understand exactly what we’re recommending and why.
  • Understanding you. No two clients’ circumstances are the same, so we don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. We take the time to understand your unique financial objectives before we recommend anything.
  • Excellence in service. From the first conversation onwards, we aim to deliver a level of communication and care that makes financial planning feel personal, not procedural.

What we do

Our integrated approach covers the areas that matter most to protecting and growing your family’s finances:

  • Trusts– working alongside Trustees to keep assets secure for beneficiaries while maximising income and growth.
  • Investment and wealth management –  tailored strategies to help you meet your financial objectives, whatever they may be.
  • Retirement planning – helping you work out how much to save, when, and at what age you can start drawing on it.
  • Inheritance tax and estate planning – exploring practical ways to reduce your Inheritance Tax liability and plan for the future of your estate.

Our team

Renaissance Financial is led by Francis Jarman, Managing Director and Chartered Financial Planner, alongside Philip Warford, Director.

They’re supported by Mark Eldridge, Chartered Financial Planner, Jason Briggs, Senior Paraplanner, and Anne Cox, Office Assistant – a team with the qualifications and experience to handle everything from day-to-day queries to complex estate planning.

The Renaissance Group

We are part of a group of companies which comprises Renaissance Legal and Renaissance Trust, which offer complementary services in legal advice, trust management, inheritance tax planning and welfare benefits.

There is a commercial arrangement between the shareholder of this firm and Renaissance Legal, however there is no obligation on our clients to use the services of Renaissance Legal.
