 John Kelly
BA FCA Dip PFS
Chartered Accountant Partner
I look after our Inheritance Tax and investment clients. As well as being a diploma qualified finance planner, I am also a chartered accountant, one of a handful of such dual-qualified individuals in the country.
I graduated in economics at Manchester University in 1981, and then went on to qualify with leading accountants Stoy Hayward.
In 1987, I set up my own firm and spent 15 years advising clients on tax affairs. During this time, I realised that there was a gap in the market for ethically-delivered financial advice rather than commission-driven product sales, and so I set up Square One Financial Planning LLP in 2003.
I am the author of the Inheritance Tax guide “Keeping the Taxman Out of Your Home”. The purpose of this book is to help people understand IHT without having to seek expensive advice. It explains what is going on clearly and without technical language.
I am committed to providing top quality advice, in plain English, at a fair price.
I am married, live in Arundel and enjoy sailing, hill walking and astronomy.

 Andrew Melbourne
Chartered Financial Planner
Partner
I specialise in retirement planning for individuals and corporate advice, including end of financial year tax planning and employee benefit implementation for our clients.
Having joined the financial services industry in 1998, I became a diploma qualified finance planner in 2003. I am now one of the few Chartered Financial Planners in Sussex. This top level qualification was introduced into our profession in 2006 and only around 1 in 100 advisers has attained this accreditation to date. As well as passing exams, Chartered Financial Planners commit to a strict code of ethics.
My aim is to help people understand their choices so they make an informed decision that best suits their current situation. This helps clients achieve their ambitions. I also head the firm’s investment committee to ensure that we maintain a suitable and consistent approach to clients finances.
I am married, we have a lively toddler and new baby; and live on the South Coast. I enjoy hockey and am now learning how to play golf.

Iain Cornfield
BSc(Hons) CertCII CeMAP
Financial Planner
I operate Square One’s Horsham office and provide investment and pension advice to clients and can also advise on life and health insurance provision for individuals and businesses.
I graduated from Lancaster University in 1988 majoring in Economics and have been a financial advisor since 1992.
Since then I have built up a wide experience in all areas of financial planning which enables me to give high quality holistic advice.
I joined Square One because I was impressed by the partners’ highly ethical stance and the range of legal and accounting facilities available to enhance the advice for clients.
I am married with two young children, live in Horsham and am a keen cricketer. I also play a little golf and sail when I get the chance.
