Personal
Financial Advice

We offer comprehensive personal financial advice for individuals looking to maximise the return from their investments.

Who are you?

Generally, you’ve taken a DIY approach to your finances. You’ve dabbled in investments, set up numerous pension plans and perhaps even taken a chance on some higher risk plans in the past. You wouldn’t say you’re a financial expert, but so far, you’ve been confident in your choices.

Now, however, you’re questioning whether your money is working hard enough in today’s volatile, low-return world. You’re worried that you’re no longer ahead of the curve where your cash and assets are concerned. You need a second opinion – and, eventually, you want to leave the management of your financial affairs in somebody else’s capable hands.

  • I would highly recommend clear financial advice, very knowledgeable and professional at all times.

    Jo JonesJo JonesBrentwood

  • When, like me, your investment knowledge is limited the first things you want from an IFA is someone whose honesty, experience and advice you feel you can trust. If after that you get to like them as a person who shares similar values with you, as I have and do, then the association should prove to be fruitful. I recommended Paul to both my sons when they needed mortgage advice and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

    BernardBernard
