Helen Askwith

About Helen:

As Co-Founder and Director of AHJ Wills & Estates Ltd, I bring over 20 years of experience in  finance, specialising in wealth management and asset finance. My career has included time at  Coutts, where I worked with high-net-worth individuals to navigate complex tax and estate  planning needs. This background has proven invaluable in my work today, particularly in  supporting clients with Will writing and Lasting Powers of Attorney. 

I understand how busy life can get—especially when balancing a career and raising a young  family. I compress my working hours around looking after our two children, which gives me a  real appreciation for the pressures many of our clients face. It’s common for people to delay   creating a Will or setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney, simply because these are emotionally  difficult topics to think about. At AHJ Wills & Estates, we aim to make the process as  straightforward and stress-free as possible, taking the complexity off your plate and giving you  peace of mind that everything is in place. 

What makes AHJ different is our team’s combination of financial expertise and lived experience.  We’re a relatively young, dynamic firm, but we’ve each faced many of the same life stages and  challenges as our clients. This helps us connect on a more personal level. With knowledge  spanning both estate planning and financial planning, we offer a comprehensive, one-stop  solution for protecting what matters most. 

Within the business, I manage our administration, accounts, and finance operations. I also  designed the AHJ office environment to reflect our welcoming and professional ethos, and I  coordinate our events and conference presence throughout the year. 

Outside of work, I love to travel and enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Life is full,  and like many of our clients, I know how hard it can be to find the time to plan for the future. My  advice? Don’t put off those difficult decisions. Taking action early gives you control, confidence,  and reassurance—and it means your loved ones aren’t left facing uncertainty.
