Technical Advice- We keep up to date with changing legislation and can give generic help from a simple investment to that of  Trusts and  IHT planning.


Generic Financial Guidance -defined as impartial, unregulated guidance that helps individuals identify and understand their financial needs and priorities based on their circumstances. It seeks to provide financial information, rules of thumb and general guidance in respect of possible options a person may wish to consider (i.e. what a person ‘could’ do), based on a general understanding of his/her current circumstances, needs and priorities, so that individuals are supported and better able to make their own informed decisions about what actions they wish to take in respect of their finances.

​

We are not authorised by the FCA and only provide report writing services on behalf of FCA registered entities . Any advice provided is accurate and professional but ultimate regulatory sign off has to be from that authorised entity. We do not provide any direct personal financial advice.

TESTIMONIALS

Whenever I’m overwhelmed with report writing Neil is my ‘go to’ man.  He’s professional, very knowledgeable and always delivers on his promises.  Due to Neil’s high level of technical knowledge I feel safe that any reports he assists me with will be of the highest quality.  Also, the time he saves allows me to spend more time looking after my clients and building my business.

Brian Butcher DipPFS
Director 
Ideal Financial Management Ltd

Neil commenced working for PJM Paraplanning in November 2018 predominantly on final salary reports. Neil continues to work for PJM and his work is continually of a high standard and I would fully recommend Neil for Report Writing Services.



Peter Mason (CertPFS, DipPFS, APFS)
Defined Benefit & Chartered Paraplanner
PJM Paraplanning & Consultancy Services Limited

I have worked with Neil for many years both as a financial consultant in my own IFA business and as a Partner in SJP. 


He is excellent with a vast experience in our business. He always drills the case down and talks to you regarding what you need. Neil is a true gentleman and professional and his reports are quality and are outstanding. He also sees other opportunities and guides you accordingly.

Laura Hughes DipPFS
LH Financial  Planning Ltd
Partner Practice of St. James’s Place Wealth Management

I have been working with Neil for some time and find him a great asset to my business. His work is quick, efficient and accurate. Added to that, the fact he has given advice previously means he understands the impact of his work on clients, an added benefit.


I would have no hesitation recommending him.


Mark Stevens DipPFS
Stevens Wealth Management Ltd
Partner Practice of St. James's Place Wealth Management

I have used Neil for various work including pension transfer, and drawdown. I feel that Neil is very knowledgeable, gives of his time generously, and researches carefully. I like the way that on one pension case  that had not reached the Business Assurance timescale for possible transfer at the time - he diarised exactly when it should be looked at again and contacted me as promised. He cares about the work.


I feel that Neil’s fees are fair and transparent and would recommend that you try his services.
