About us
We are an established and growing independent financial advisory business, helping our clients with all aspects of financial planning ranging from Mortgages, Protection, Investments, Retirement, Wills, and Inheritance Tax Planning.
Our History
Our company was established back in March 2000 by the current Director. Having previously worked for a large insurance company with years of experience, knowledge, and a strong passion for financial planning, we decided it was time to start our business.
Initially based in a small office in Harrow, we quickly realized the demand for our expert financial advice was growing, and soon after, we had to move to bigger offices. Since then, we have grown in strength and numbers with more team members, clients, and office space.
Why we are different?
Our clients value the quality advice they have received from our dedicated team. As a result, a large majority of our new business comes from personal recommendations and referrals from existing clients.
We are totally independent, unbiased, and research the whole of the market. This enables us to provide truly bespoke and tailored advice to your own circumstances and requirements.
We understand time is more valuable than ever and is one of the main reasons why obtaining quality financial advice is key to achieving financial freedom.
Using video technology, we are able to communicate with our clients in more ways than ever before. We are now regularly speaking to our clients via phone and video calls, however, we always welcome everyone to visit our offices to meet the teams that will be working with them.
Our ethos is to always complete the work for clients in the same manner as if we were carrying out the work for ourselves, our family, or friends.
Our Team
Our dedicated team is essential to providing the best possible advice and service to our clients. We work hard to help them reach their financial goals whether it’s buying their first home, growing their retirement portfolio, or protecting themselves and their families. They have a wealth of knowledge and advisers having up to and beyond 20 years of experience.
