Philip provided a comprehensive life plan, along with advice in specific areas we requested. He also helped to consolidate and reinvest our pensions and savings. His service has been clear and professional.

Philip has really sorted out my anxiety about my finances, advising me on sensible, ethical investments that fit with my requirements. He's experienced, calm, kind and really takes care to emphasise that he's in this for the long term. He is always around to reassess priorities and to react to changing circumstances. Philip really cares about the peace of mind, wellbeing, and – of course – financial returns of his clients.

Philip encouraged me to think about my big financial goals . He created a financial plan for my life and advised me on how to protect the plan.

Philip helped me make my investments ethical when I realised that was something I really wanted. He has given me shrewd investment advice, but also encouraged me to enjoy my money. He helped me enormously through my divorce, from filling in the financial disclosure documents to organising a vital loan for me to help me pay the lump sum and keep my house. He's been absolutely brilliant, always going above and beyond.

We feel like we're in safe hands and have made the right decisions with Philip's guidance.

Philip has helped us to come up with a financial plan to retire earlier than originally planned.

I had never been interested in financial planning before, nor had I ever had much in the way of capital that needed looking after. Philip was rigorous and helpful throughout, and very good at explaining things that I had never needed to think about before.

Philip helped me to get my thoughts in order, looked at my current pensions, investments, assets and commitments and mapped our very clearly how best, in financial terms, to prepare for the years ahead. He even made me realise I could retire a number of years earlier if I wanted too and that the financial plans I had in my head for the next 10 years or so didn't really make financial sense and proposed a much better plan for my current investments. Turns out I'm not as smart as I thought I was.

Philip has given valuable advice on pensions, financial planning and above all reassurance.

From our first meeting, Philip gave me the impression that he was the person I could trust with the management of my affairs. He is knowledgeable and analytic, he listens, he understands, he explains and acts according to what the client wishes.

Philip took great care to understand our personal circumstances, and our joint hopes for the future. He cut through the complexities of financial planning and made very practical recommendations which we have agreed to implement.
