Clapton moved into a consultancy role in May 2015 when Harwood Captial bought Wellian.
The new firm will target small accounting practices, offering them advice on how to work more closely with IFAs and thus grow though the combination of financial services skills with those of tax and business services.
Clapton said “Collaboration among professional advisers; given regulatory pressure and current market conditions is key to achieving sustained business growth. With the ability to collaborate and diversify their offering, these firms will be primed to turn existing challenges into fantastic opportunities.
According to Clapton, the recent pension changes provide professional advisers with a number of new challenges, but also open up a number of new opportunities, especially if they are able to expand and diversify their offering.
Clapton has also taken up the role of chairman at Greenstone Financial Planning.
