I'm Barry Honeyman, a financial coach based in Stirling.
I spent 22 years in global finance, latterly as a financial adviser. In 2026 I stepped away from regulated advice to focus on the part I always found most valuable: sitting on the same side of the table as people and helping them get clear, confident and committed to a plan they own.
Who I work with
I work mainly with self-employed people and small business owners: people whose income goes up and down, whose tax bill arrives in lumps, and who don't have an employer sorting their pension. I also work with busy professionals who earn well but don't feel in control of their money.
Entirely on your side
I have no products to sell, I don't earn commission and I don't take introducer fees, so nothing is riding on your decisions except your plan.
What I do, and what I don't do
What I do
Help you see where your money goes, decide what matters most, build a plan you'll actually follow, and keep you on track.
What I don't do
Recommend specific investments, pensions, products or providers. When you need regulated advice, I'll say so plainly and help you work out what to ask.
Outside work
Outside work, you'll find me gigging around Central Scotland with a guitar and spending time driving my 3 kids to their activities. I also serve as trustee on charity boards.
