About Us

Our Story

Richard Harris has been in Financial Services for over 11 years and founded Thrive Financial Planning to provide comprehensible Financial Advice and Planning to clients across Staffordshire, the West Midlands, and the UK.

We provide a bespoke and personable Financial Planning service to each of our clients, focusing on life planning, goals and aspirations. Our mission is to make your money work for you.

Get to know Richard

Richard is based in South Staffordshire, where he lives with his partner, their three children, and two cockapoos who probably attend more client Zoom calls than they should.

Having worked in financial services since 2014, Richard founded Thrive with one goal in mind: to give people genuinely independent advice that fits around their lives, not the other way round.

He specialises in retirement planning, pensions and investments, savings, inheritance tax planning, and financial advice for business owners. Whatever stage of life you’re at, Richard focuses on building honest, long-term relationships with you and your family.

Away from work, Richard enjoys travelling and exploring new places with his family, snorkelling, and, after a recent trip, discovered he has a natural talent for water skiing.

Find Richard on the FCA register here and for Thrive Financial Planning here.
