What our clients say

Akash helped me simplify my various pension accounts. He was great at helping me understand how to go about comparing them and finding a simple account for all of them. We meet and review regularly and I am happy with the performance this far. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Sean R, Histon

We received an inheritance and wanted advice on the best way to invest it. Akash was very patient with us as first time investors and we have been very satisfied with the results ever since. We see him every year and make changes as needed. We wanted someone we can work with long term and are glad that it is him!

Mike T, Royston

I approached Akash as we sold a number of properties and were looking for some tax and investment advice. He was able to help us mitigate a large part of the tax and also boost my pension. I have already recommended him to Friends and family with good results.

C Dissanayake, Cambridge

We've has a number of pensions both final salary and investment based. We undertook a financial planning exercise with Akash to determine what level of income we could get at retirement and whether we could retire early. He put together a personalised cash flow plan for us and also helped consolidate various plans into one. We speak with him on an ongoing basis and he keeps us informed of any changed we need to make. Great service, very personal!

Janet Kelly, Cambridgeshire

My mum in law needed to move into a care home and we enlisted Akash's help with the planning. He has a good understanding of how the care fees planning process works and was able to guide us through it. We never felt pressured or rushed and would recommend him to anyone thinking of using his service.

G Conner, Cambridge

Having been with another IFA for a number of years we felt that we were not receiving the service we pad for. Akash reviewed our portfolio and made some sensible recommednations and we have moved over to him since. Very professional and easily accessible. No hesitation in recommending.

Graham L, Linton

I sold my business and had a lump sum to invest. I needed to replace my income and therefore met with Akash to explore investing for income. He has been extremely professional, upfront and helpful and also guided me in other financial areas not related to it. He is detailed and demonstrated that he cares about his clients before himself. Highly recommended!
