Professionally

I have worked in financial services for nearly 10 years, having previously worked with charities and the public sector. As an adviser I work closely with my clients and their families, helping them with their investment journey whether they are new to financial advice, are planning their retirement, or looking at intergenerational or estate planning.

Personally

I prefer to spend my personal time outside, whether walking or running. Often participating in distance challenges, from marathons to a virtual Lands End to John O’Groats.

Reviews and Ratings for Financial adviser Jessica Lyons, London

Jessica in the spotlight

My perfect weekend would be:

Lazy days when magically all the weekend chores have been completed and I have time to myself: to go for a long walk, relaxed lunch with friends and then perhaps cinema or theatre for the evening.

My favourite holiday destination is:

I regularly visit the west coast of Scotland, which is exceptionally scenic, but I like to visit new places, so would say anywhere that I haven’t been yet as long as it has the perfect mix of relaxation and activity.

My favourite song to play in the car is:

Anything by Dolly Parton.

If I could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, I would win a medal in:

Remembering seemingly pointless pieces of information.

When the dessert menu arrives, I’m looking for:

Anything without dairy products in it!

The three qualities that draw me to new people are:

Openness, humility and generosity of spirit.

My pet peeve is:

Long discussions about location-based reality TV, including those shows set on an island!

The best gift I’ve ever received is:

A Walkman(!)

The three people at my dream dinner party would be:

Maya Angelou, Vivienne Westwood and Johnny Cash.

The three small things that make my day better are:

The sun shining, getting a seat on the train, receiving messages from loved ones.

I have been so impressed by Jessica and her exceptionally hard work and valued advice. Jessica can be relied on to explain any changes in investment to her client’s satisfaction and answer any queries quickly and succinctly. I will always recommend her at Black Swan.

Black Swan Financial Planning and Andrew in particular, are very clever at working out how risk averse we are, and coming up with solutions that we feel comfortable with. We are happy in the knowledge that we can continue to enjoy a comfortable retirement. Andrew Peters is a very, very friendly person who is great to chat to and easy to deal with. He explains things very clearly in layman’s terms, and if we still don’t understand, he explains it until we do!

We have always found Rob [Young] to be very approachable and knowledgeable. We have every confidence in the advice given and feel comfortable with the decisions we’ve made. There are certain opportunities that we wouldn’t have known about if Rob hadn’t brought them to light, which makes the advice good value for money as far as we’re concerned.

Clients since 2013

Rob [Young] is extremely knowledgeable. I knew nothing about the different types of trusts which will not only secure my income in retirement, but also leave a legacy for my children. I’m glad that I sought his advice when I did.

My wife and myself have been dealing with Black Swan for a number of years. We have met with different representatives from the company over the years and have found all very helpful in their own way. We met with James [Anderson] a few years ago and found him very helpful and knowledgeable. He keeps in contact with us on a regular basis. We find the Company information very helpful and we feel very secure with our finances.

Andrew Kirchen

I have always found my adviser to be easy to contact, very professional in his approach, yet friendly and understanding. I have a sense of an experienced company behind him, really on the ball financially and with good standards.
