Maria Langford

Trainee Financial Planner

I joined Beyond Finance in January 2023 as a Trainee Financial Planner. Initially, I had always had my heart set on becoming a solicitor, with plans to pursue a degree in Law. However, during my gap year, the opportunity to join Beyond Finance presented itself and seemed far more exciting—and I haven’t looked back since!

I am now close to achieving my Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning and hope one day to become a Chartered Financial Planner. I work closely with Jonathan Powell, supporting new clients as they embark on their financial planning journeys. I take pride in being involved at every stage, from the initial call to discussing and implementing personalised financial plans.

I am passionate about engaging with clients and supporting them through significant life changes. Whether they are planning for the future, navigating major transitions, or exploring new opportunities, I find it incredibly rewarding to be part of this journey with clients. This aspect of my work fuels my passion for continual learning and growth, as I hope to build long-lasting relationships.

Outside of work, I (try to) go to the gym four times a week when I am not revising for my next exam! My love for cooking stems from my upbringing, surrounded by my mother’s family, who are originally from St. Vincent and Aruba.

Looking ahead, I am excited about the future with Beyond Finance and look forward to continuing to contribute to the meaningful work we do together as a team!
