Taking the first step towards financial advice can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. At Oury Clark, we keep things clear, personal, and practical. When you get in touch, you’re simply starting a conversation with a team that listens, understands, and works with you to build a plan that fits your life.

Financial planning does not need to be complicated to be effective. Our independent financial advisors take the time to understand your goals, your priorities and your current position, then build a clear financial plan that helps you make informed decisions with confidence.
Our independent financial advisors provide personalised financial planning designed around your life and ambitions. Because we are independent, our advice is unbiased and focused solely on what’s right for you.
We always try to keep things as simple as possible and help people out where we can.
We’ll help you build and manage an investment or pension portfolio that truly reflects your life, values, and goals. From recommending tax-efficient, diversified investments aligned with your risk appetite to ongoing reviews and tailored reporting, we adapt your strategy as your needs evolve—so you stay confident and in control, every step of the way.
Planning for retirement shouldn’t feel daunting. Whether you're starting a new pension, consolidating existing ones, or exploring equity release, we’ll guide you through every option—like lifetime mortgages, home reversion, drawdown, and inheritance protection—to help you create a plan that secures your finances and supports your lifestyle.
Navigating personal taxes can be tricky, especially when planning for the future. We simplify it—whether you're drawing up a will, optimising inheritance tax reliefs, handling complex company share schemes, relocating here, or filing annual returns. With strategic, tailored support, we help ensure you're tax-efficient today and protected tomorrow.
Whether you're looking to buy, remortgage, or release cash from your home, our independent mortgage advice and property expertise help ease the process. We search the whole market, handle the paperwork, and explore equity release options—such as lifetime mortgages or hybrid plans—so you can unlock value from your property with confidence and clarity

We just finished a lengthy tax situation that Oury handled for us. They were amazing, as it took three months, covered a lot of financial ground but Oury was there every step of the way advising us. Our email questions/Zoom calls were helpful and timely. We were so impressed with their service we are continuing our relationship with tax reporting in the future. Thank you Emma and a special thanks to Matthew also!
