Our People
SUSAN HIDES
Financial Advisor & Director
Does Financial Advice sound daunting? To most, I guess so.
How does, reducing tax, saving more, enjoying retirement sound? Much better I would imagine.
It has been proven that working with a Financial Adviser can increase your wealth, and reduce your tax.
I have now been helping my clients achieve their goals for 23 years, seeing their families grow, with the legacy of sound financial planning passed down the generations.
The landscape is changing for us all with Social Reforms changing, a big question is how will I fund retirement and long term care if needed. Qualified in both Long Term Care and Equity Release, I am able to assist with these challenges.
Outside of work, I have two amazing daughters, whom I love spending time with, Music and travel are my passions. My aspirations for retirement are to see as many beautiful places as possible.
Launching SMH Walth has allowed me the freedom and Flexibility to put our clients at the centre of everything we do. Offering a personal service at a reasonable cost.

SIMON GOODALL
Client Relationship Director
I am Simon Goodall Client Relationship Director here at SMH Wealth Associates, a bespoke, client focused financial planning and wealth management company.
After 15 years of successfully helping and advising clients of Natwest Bank, briefly for The Nationwide Building Society and then for HSBC, I felt it was time for a change. I had become frustrated with the constant changes directed at both myself, my colleagues and more importantly the clients we looked after.
Our aim at SMH is to look after clients throughout their lives, building a valued and rewarding relationship, not just focused on wealth but specifically on ensuring this wealth enables our clients to get the most out of life. Many of our clients will recognise that we spend as much time chatting with them about how they are going to enjoy their wealth as we do on helping it to grow tax efficiently and the legacy they wish to leave for the next generation of their family. Often at an annual review the first thing they will tell us is how they have been spending some money, which we love to hear!
When I am not working with clients, I love getting outdoors, either on the golf course, walking up a mountain, spending time with my son or walking my dog, Scout. I also enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends, ideally with some great food and a good glass of wine.
