Akash has done well in providing a first-class service for his clients. He is the epitome of one who strives in giving the best advice possible.

I have known Akash Gupta for the past 5 years. He makes time to get to know his customers best interests, which enables him to give individual , trustworthy, professional advice. He is easily contacted to give help and support when required.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
We approached Akash recently for some advice on how my husband could further invest an existing pension scheme he holds. In order to do this my husband gave Akash permission to contact the pension scheme holder.
The information that Akash was able to obtain was far more than we had managed to get after weeks of talking to the pension holder and this really helped Akash to advise my husband on how to make the best decision for him.
We both greatly value the honesty and integrity of Akash and we recommend him highly.
