What our clients say

As a new client of Heaton Financial, I have found them to be very friendly and provide clear and professional advice. I have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Mr G, Exeter

We really do appreciate your past services, with your friendly, understanding and very effective assistance. We know where to come should we need further guidance.

Dr W, Helston

I have been with Heaton Financial since they were first established. Since then they have been extremely good and most helpful to us. I would recommend them to anyone

Dr W, Willand

I work full time and have children. I know I need to spend more time on my finances, but can never find this time. Heaton Financial visited me at a time convenient to me and took an overview of my current position. They reviewed this and came back with a range of options. They weren't pushy. Their charging structure is such that they will not recommend one policy over another because it has a greater cut for them. They even called round for me to sign the papers and I'm sure I'm not a huge client for them. They have made everything very straightforward and we have agreed an annual review.

Mrs S, Topsham

David Heaton has been my financial adviser for over twenty years. In that time, I have received much good and sound advice. I have no hesitation in recommending Heaton Financial to anyone who needs informed, unbiased, financial guidance.

Dr B, Newton Ferrers

As a new client of Heaton Financial, I have found them to be very friendly and provide clear and professional advice. I have no hesitation in recommending the company

Mr G, Exeter

I have never been great with Pensions although I have quite a few. I finally decided at 50+ I should take a look at them, having looked at them I decided I would seek professional financial advise. I am so pleased I made this decision. I took all my papers along to Heaton Financial who were so helpful, I appreciate your professional guidance, advice and assistance. Without your invaluable expertise it would have meant negotiating a pile of documentation, for which I was totally unprepared or understood. I can now relax, knowing that all the necessary paperwork has been handled in a very competent and successful manner. Thanks so much.

Ms S, Topsham
