ABOUT US
Providing independent financial advice for over 20 years
WHO WE ARE
We have been providing independent financial advice for over 20 years. We specialise in investment work advising both personal and corporate clients.
We operate from premises near to central Birmingham. We serve clients across the country, both individual and corporate. We speak English and Brummie.
We work closely with a range of professional advisors including solicitors, tax consultants and accountants.
Refer to the Investing page to find out what we do and the Investment Process section to find out how we do it.
We are happy to meet prospective clients at their home since we find that the process is often more relaxing and also information is easily to hand.
OUR QUALIFICATIONS
We have a wide variety of investment clients with differing needs and our work entails advisory investment portfolio management - that is to say constructing a plan to meet client needs and monitoring and adjusting on an ongoing basis. The specialist qualifications held reflect our main advice area - investment.

How much do you charge for a meeting?We do not charge for the first meeting. Only when we have assessed your financial situation will we know whether we can help you and only then will we agree a fee with you. For more details of our costs click here.
-
How should I prepare for the first meeting?We recommend that you have information about your assets, liabilities, income and expenditure. Most clients find it useful to meet at their homes where they have access to all the documents they need.
-
Do you make home visits?Absolutely; most of our clients prefer home visits as this is where they are most comfortable and have access to their financial records. We are also happy to meet at our offices or your business premises. Finally given recent trends we can also 'meet' you electronically - using Teams or Zoom.
-
How far will you travel?Although we are based in Birmingham we have clients all over the UK.
