What our clients say

Chris Prescott was extremely helpful and understanding in challenging circumstances. I trust his advise and would recommend him highly.

Rae, Sheffield

Chris has worked as a Volunteer for the last two years at Citizens Advice Sheffield supporting the delivery of the MoneyPlan project. He has enabled us to increase the service that we offer to our clients across Sheffield who would not otherwise be able to access a Chartered Financial Planner. We are very grateful to Chris for his support, and his down to earth manner and approachable style ensures that he puts our clients at ease and empowers them to deal with complex financial issues.

Jenny Wright, Manager PensionWise, Citizens Advice Sheffield, Sheffield

I have worked closely with Chris on numerous occasions in relation to mutual clients. Chris’s advice is always of the highest quality and focussed on achieving exactly what the client needs – exactly as it should be. Chris also has very strong relationships with his clients and is highly regarded for his ‘down to earth’, jargon free style of advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris Prescott to my clients in need of financial advice.

Steven Dawson - Partner at MKB Solicitors, Barnsley

Chris has always been there at the other end of the phone offering me impartial financial advice that i know i can trust. Being a mature and a female I have found many people who have tried to dupe me to buy their products but over the last 8 years of working with Chris he has impartially guided me through the minefield of investments. It has never been too much trouble to him to help guide me whether I have been wishing to invest or withdraw funds from my financial pots.
