Financial Finesse for Queenagers

Giving you confidence in the moments that matter

Midlife: when there’s so much behind you, yet so much to come. You may be finding it daunting, exciting or both – whether you’re building your business, selling it, rethinking your wealth for the next generation, or managing financial change after divorce.

However you’re continuing your story, your next chapter comes with financial challenges and opportunities. Without skilled guidance, it’s easy to lose sight of the fulfilling, stress-free life that you’ve earned.

We’re proud to be partnering with NOON, which was developed to help women embrace midlife. NOON’s message is a positive one: if life were a day, middle age is only midday.

Together, we’ll help you approach your finances with clarity and confidence, helping you to enjoy being a Queenager: NOON’s term for this empowering new phase of life.

BKL and NOON: supporting you together

We’re delighted to be bringing our finance and tax experience together with NOON’s brilliant community of midlife wisdom and support to all Queenagers. It’s about combining professional insight with personal empowerment, helping women to feel in control of their money, their businesses and their futures. Our advisers understand that technical expertise alone isn’t enough: it has to come with a personal touch and lived experience.

Together, we’re developing Financial Finesse, a programme of articles, online talks, and drop-in clinics that explore key topics for Queenagers – from wills and business exits to family wealth and financial resilience.

A letter from NOON founder Eleanor Mills

I’ve just discovered that the house I was buying has fallen through. This is not good as I’ve just sold the family home where we’ve lived for 23 years and there is no going back. I’ve got 10 days to find a rental or we’re going to be living in a hotel.

The estate agent needs all sorts of complicated financial information about my income before I can pin down the rental property and it is a moment of intense stress. I’m the director of two companies so I don’t have a PAYE salary to prove my income easily. Adrenaline floods my system. This won’t wait. what am I going to do?

The answer is, as ever, call BKL.
