MR Ross Smith DipFA CeMAP MIFS
Practice Principal

This qualification assesses a knowledge and understanding of the UK regulation environment in the financial services industry, mortgage products, repayment options and the giving of mortgage advice.

The Diploma enhances knowledge in core areas such as regulation, investment principles, risk, taxation and personal financial planning using real-life scenarios to develop the essential skills to apply this technical knowledge in practice

What our clients say
Ross has provided me with financial advice for the last three and a half years. This has seen me into my retirement and the selling of my house. A number of different financial scenarios have arisen in this time. He has always been clear and comprehensive when discussing with me the various options. He advises me each time I see him of his responsibilities and obligations. He has been willing to undertake consultations at home. He or his secretary are prompt in responding to my queries.
Malcolm Baxter, Bonar Bridge
Having taken over from our previous FA of many years, he has continued the excellent service we have come to expect.Over the changing circumstances, from full time work > part time work following early retirement > and now fully retired. Guiding us through the financial crash and minimising our losses, we have had complete confidence in him. He is always fully aware of our needs and objectives.
George Worrall, Nairn
Is always available for advice on any financial matters, I can ring Ross at any time, and always get a prompt return call if he is engaged when I call.We have had really sound advice and planning towards our future financial decisions, while he is very honest, if he feels he needs to look into something beforehand, he will say so quite categorically. I worked in banking for much of my career, and know a little about finance, and we are really happy with the service. He comes highly recommended!
Patricia MacKay, Dornoch
