My name is Peter Herd and I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland. I have over 20 years’ experience within financial services and have worked in both Banks and Building Societies and have worked in many fields of financial planning including Business Banking and so I am able to give independent advice based on a client’s entire financial situation. I am FCA registered and hold a Level 5 Diploma in Investment Planning. I also have a current Statement of Professional Standing which complies with RDR regulations.
Essential IFA prides itself on customer service and we hope by working together with our clients that we can provide high-level financial planning that makes your goals come true.
Of course we give advice on products like pensions, ISA’s, life insurance and even mortgages but what we have to do first is get to know YOU. We take time to understand your needs and to work out what is the best course of action.
We also offer a full review service to all our clients, as we feel that reviews are as equally important as the initial advice.
