About​

Welcome to Mostly Boring Finance

I’m a product manager in the asset management industry, with a background as a Big Four accountant and over a decade of experience across fund finance, private markets, and investor operations. I’ve spent most of my career building, launching, or supporting investment products for institutional clients – and quietly obsessing over personal finance and long-term investing along the way.

This site is where that quiet obsession now lives. It’s a space to share thoughts, tools, and reflections – sometimes technical, often behavioural. I’ve always enjoyed learning and helping others explore what I’ve learnt, personal finance can be unnecessarily complex. Mostly Boring Finance is part knowledge sharing, part internet experiment, and part invitation to connect with others on the same slow path towards better clarity and more autonomy.

Why Boring?

Because most of what works isn’t new or exciting.

It’s thinking through decisions before acting. Building habits you don’t need to hack. Knowing what you own. Getting to the root of a cost, a risk, or a wrapper. Not always thrilling, but often freeing.

This site is deliberately not about hype or hot takes. No stock tips. No “how to retire at 35 with leverage.” And definitely no crypto cult content. While WallStreetBets gets the headlines, I’m more interested in the quieter corners – the ones where people reflect, recalibrate, and make actual progress.

I write as someone who’s had countless conversations with smart, capable people — often in finance — who still feel unsure about their own money. There’s value in stepping back, stripping out the noise, and treating personal finance as something we live through rather than optimise perfectly.

What You’ll Find Here

I’ll try and write weekly, that’s at least my aim. Topics may include:

• Saving, spending, and budgeting in practice
• My thoughts on sensible approaches to investing
• Tools, spreadsheets, and techniques that have helped me, maybe they will be useful to your journey.
• The occasional in depth article if I just can’t help myself but share what I’ve been going down a rabbit-hole on.
• The odd reflection from work, life, or whatever I’ve done that week.

The aim isn’t content for content’s sake. It’s to be of use. If someone out there finds this helpful, relatable, or even just quietly reassuring, that’s a win.

For now, I’ll be here. Writing, thinking, sharing. Slowly.
