What our clients say

“Addidi has been advising me for a number of years now and has provided clarity and guidance as well an independent opinion on all areas of my personal finance. I like their no nonsense, transparent service. More recently, Addidi has been helping me manage day to day financial arrangements and that has provided the piece of mind knowing that I am not paying too much for insurances and utilities as well as having the right type of cover and my financial paperwork in good order. She and her team are a delight to work with and every woman I have recommended agrees.”

Mary Spillane, London

“Having advice from someone who seemed to have my best interests at heart as opposed to someone who just wanted me to sign a document so they got some kind of commission - that was the difference between having a financial advisor and someone who only called himself a financial advisor, but actually was just a commission agent. I would rather pay someone who I know is very savvy to act on my behalf and I have such a relationship with Anna of Addidi that I know she is looking after me.”

Jacquie Harris, Cornwall

"As an established executive who works with wealth management organisations, I find little time/desire to attend to my own wealth matters. I have now known Anna for over 7 years and I am amazed at her ability to consistently deliver the right mix of going 'beyond wealth' whilst addressing the fundamentals of wealth planning and management - turning a perceived chore into a pleasurable meeting of the minds. I can therefore genuinely endorse that she has turned her vision for Addidi into reality. Her latest initiative Addidi Angels is both inspiring and empowering for it's members. She has managed to democratise a vital asset class that to date was only open to larger investors - and has done so in such a way that the angels can provide mentoring and networking support to the businesses thereby maintaining control. Her positive attitude: holistic approach to wealth: ability to inspire all who she meets: constantly strive to 'financially empower women' : help others are constant and valuable qualities. A pleasure to do business with.“
