Eclipse Financial Planning was established in 2019 offering Holistic Financial Planning. They are passionate about ensuring their clients have the best chance of achieving their financial goals, and ultimately enjoying life to the fullest.
With vast experience in the financial services industry, Director Tom Kesterton set out with his transferrable skills to embark on his own business venture and escape employment .In his own words;
“Finance is a lifestyle not a job.”
On a mission to get people from where they are to where they want to be financially in the most efficient way, Tom has now established a reputable business serving London and the South East of England.
How we support Eclipse Financial Planning
Eclipse Financial Planning have been a client of Blue Rocket’s since their incorporation, September2019. As a financial expert, Tom knew the benefits of outsourcing the business accounting needs, and chose to use the Blue Rocket team for personal tax returns to corporate tax returns. From then to today, the ongoing relationship with Blue Rocket has led to additional business benefits such as; referrals generating revenue of over £29,000, multiple new leads to the business and networking opportunities to name a few.
Blasting off to success
Upon set-up of the business, it was clear that a high priority starting point was that Eclipse Financial Planning required support structuring multiple business entities and maximizing tax efficiencies from any losses incurred.
In those early days, losses can impact a business severely, and good management of such can be the difference between survival and collapse of a new business.
With that in mind, Blue Rocket got to work and set up a group structure and ownership so that future profits could flow through losses elsewhere before heading to the Directorship, therefore increasing the tax efficiency.
Blue Rocket were keen to facilitate the ongoing services needed and meet the immediate requirements of the complexities of such a business.
From that initial ‘Blast-Off’ meeting to today, it is estimated that Eclipse have saved in excess of £12,000 in taxes alone using the group structure that accounting experts Blue Rocket first set up.
Tom Kesterton told us;
“Due to the good early planning I’ve saved on income tax and future mitigation is much easier given the flexibility the Blue Rocket plan has created.”
Tom went on to say;
“The information I received from Miguel from the beginning was invaluable and I can’t put a number on how many times that it helped me in the early days! Miguel’s ability to lend a hear and problem solve is amazing.”
More than meets the eye
For any new business, leads are an essential part of growth, pathing the way to secured sales. Understanding this; Blue Rocket offer regular networking opportunities for those business looking to expand their reach and gain news leads. Eclipse Financial Planning fully embraced this and reaped the rewards of regularly registering for events, making connections. They credit the Blue Rocket events with;
· £29,000 generated revenue from referrals
· 10 leads from the S.O.A.R event
· New ways to pitch to their own prospective clients
· And internal business improvements from take away process management tools.
The relationships developed between business owners and the Blue Rocket team mean that a trust is forged which enables profitable businesses to continue moving forwards and propel the growth of their company, knowing they’ve got the best support available.

What value does Blue Rocket bring to your business through their service solutions?
