What our clients say
I work in technology and had all my share options pay out owing to a change of management. Berkshire IFA guided me through this rather challenging financial situation which meant that I can now retire at 60 rather than 65 – so I can concentrate on my passion – which is motor sport!
Mr F, Reading
I worked for a company for 12 years and built up a pretty good pension, however I divorced a few years ago. I wanted my children to be the sole beneficiaries – Ashton helped me achieve this.
Mr M, Wokingham
We did not think we could buy our house. Ashton took the time to understand our circumstances and guide us through the options which were best suited to our situation. We are now finally on the property ladder!
Mr and Mrs P, Woodley
My investments are now in order, and I pay the tax I should be paying. Ashtons financial planning advice meant I was able to make some longer-term investment decisions and build a resilient portfolio – which is great considering the markets at the moment!
Mr and Mrs D, Finchampstead
Our ISA’s were spread across several companies, Ashton reviewed them and then helped us understand our options and which one was best suited to our situation. We are now saving thousands of pounds a year just in charges versus the old provider.
Mr and Mrs M, Newbury
We arranged a mortgage and some life cover and sorted out all of our pensions. We could not be happier as we are saving £1,500 a month in repayments, and only have one pension rather than 7 small ones! Our life cover is also a great deal cheaper despite my husband having a few medical conditions.
Mr and Mrs L, Bracknell
Ashton helped me with my Lifetime and Annual Allowance Issues, as a result I will have a significantly more comfortable retirement.
Mr and Mrs S, Wokingham
