Now fully independent and directly authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, the Aberdeen-based firm is delivering a new era of financial advice and planning: transparent, proactive, and built entirely around the client.

The move is forecasted to save clients over £650,000 in annual fees, with further savings expected as more portfolios transition away from legacy charging structures.

When Martin Welsh and Kieran Taylor talk about building wealth, they are not just speaking as financial advisers. They are speaking as former oil and gas professionals who understand the realities of a career in this sector.

They have lived the project deadlines, the corporate pressures, and the complex reward packages that come with senior roles in energy. They know the challenge of juggling multiple pension schemes built up over years of moves between companies and jurisdictions, the intricacies of share options and long-term incentive plans, and the difficulty of finding the time to manage it all while leading at work.
Today, they are helping energy professionals solve a different kind of puzzle: how to turn career success into financial freedom.

As co-founders of Welsh & Taylor Wealth, they run an independent advice firm that is fast, personal, and engineered for the energy sector. With more than 240 verified five-star reviews on VouchedFor, the UK’s leading review platform for professional services, they have become the go-to advisers for oil and gas professionals across the UK, with hundreds of satisfied clients who trust them to deliver clarity, structure, and results. Their approach combines fair, transparent fees with advice that delivers genuine value and is easy to understand.
