With over 15 years experience in financial services working for National Wealth Management firms, such as Lloyds Private Banking, as well as a local Independent Financial Adviser based in Okehampton, the level of service, value for money and relationships built through the Local IFA surpassed anything clients received from larger firms.
Choosing a sole IFA over a larger firm can offer several advantages. Sole IFAs can provide a more personalised and tailored service, as they typically have fewer clients and can dedicate more time and attention to each one. This can lead to a deeper understanding of your individual financial situation and goals. Additionally, sole IFAs are usually more flexible and responsive, allowing for quicker adjustments to your financial plan as your circumstances change. They also tend to build long-term relationships with their clients, fostering trust and continuity. In contrast, larger firms might have more resources, but their services can sometimes feel impersonal and less adaptable to specific needs. Overall, the bespoke service and close client-adviser relationship offered by sole IFAs such as ourselves can make them a preferable choice for many individuals seeking financial guidance.
Located in the heart of Devon with knowledge of the local area having grown up and lived here all my life provides a deep understanding of the community, its history, and its unique characteristics.
My working hours are flexible - Weekend & Evening meetings available.
Feel free to get in touch for a discussion or to arrange a free, no-obligation consultation, to see if we can help!
