Hailing from South London, I was lucky enough to attend a prestigious private school, Trinity School of John Whitgift, where I completed my education, culminating in my GCSEs.
Having a thirst for independence and wanting to “stand on my own two feet”, I left schooling and joined the workplace at the tender age of 16.
Funnily enough, this was within a Financial Advisory firm, and so the love in with the industry began!
Being young, ambitious and new to the workplace, I was advised to wait until my mid-20s to qualify as a financial adviser, something I knew I clearly wanted to do. I used the time in the interim to hone my skills as a future Adviser.
And so, in the Winter of 2019 and Summer of 2020 I duly completed my qualifications, and Dylan Baker DipFA CeMAP was born.
The rest is history…!
I hold the Level 4 Diploma for Financial Advisers through the London Institute of Banking & Finance (LIBF).
I am also a qualified Mortgage Adviser and hold the Certificate in Mortgage Advice & Practices (CeMAP).
I am one of the newer members of the Cameron James team, joining in March 2024 after a background working as an Appointed Representative of a large organisation.
I am new to Cameron James, but not to the industry, meaning I am a valuable resource and sounding board for our other new advisers to use to make sure they're providing the best advice they can. We are very collaborative at Cameron James, and it is not uncommon for all of our advisers to be active in any discussion when dealing with new clients, pooling together our collective knowledge and experience to best serve our clients.
I deliver holistic financial planning, meaning I cover a wide spectrum of advice areas, ranging from pension and retirement planning advice, to Inheritance Tax mitigation and complex Estate Planning.
With a focus on the UK and Europe, I collaborate closely with the team here for all matters globally. Holding regulation within multiple jurisdictions means I can act fluidly and without delay as your circumstances dictate.
I am extremely football orientated and make no apologies for it! I am currently moonlighting as the “6 a side Pirlo” and my team are lucky to have me.
When not playing football, you can find me supporting my beloved West Ham United, where I have held a season ticket for 25 years and have been through all of the ups and downs you could possibly imagine in this time!
I am also an FA qualified referee and try to officiate matches wherever possible and as circumstances dictate.
