What our clients say

Matthew has been helping me to plan for my retirement this year and I have been discussing options with him since January 2009. In the period that I have known Matthew, I have been particularly aware of his professional, and friendly attitude towards me and my wife. His knowledge of the retirement options and his assessment of my risk profile have lead to various decisions regarding my pension arrangements, and investments which are currently turning out to be advantageous to me and the financing of my retirement. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew’s services to others in a similar circumstance to my own, and Matthew can be relied upon to provide the right level of advice, and is completely trustworthy.

Bob & Mary Piper, Paulton

A very good friend recommended I contact Matthew Randall of Inspire Financial Planning after I was prematurely widowed. Matthew was great from the very start, listening to my concerns and acting on my instructions to the letter. He used various models and endless patience explaining all aspects of my finances from showing me I can afford to continue living in my home, to helping me plan for my retirement. I was also most impressed by his knowledge of the ethical investment market.

Rachel Burgener, Prestbury

Since Matthew took over my financial affairs I have been able to relax! His input has been most helpful and he has simplified matters greatly. I have no hesitation in recommending him to one and all!

Heather Howard, Letcombe Regis

I just wanted to record my thanks and appreciation for all your help with my personal financial planning over the last 18 months. I came to you in the first instance thinking that all I needed was some advice about investing my pension but I left with a fully analysed financial profile for the future that has been of real help in setting up my financial plans. The service you provided was exemplary – you did exactly what you said you would do, advising me patiently and promptly to ensure my wishes could be realised. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others who need properly tailored advice to ensure a secure future.

About us

Inspire Financial Planning was started in 2009, although I have been advising and helping clients for over 10 years.

My ultimate goal as a professional – and my personal passion – is to help my clients achieve financial freedom. However, financial freedom means different things to different people; for some it is the ability to pursue the things they enjoy without financial constraints, for others it can be focussed on protecting against financial shocks for themselves and their loved ones.

As a result, the financial advice I offer is as individual as my clients. As simple as that sounds, I believe that this is a refreshing approach to financial planning. My view is that clients are not well served by cookie-cutter solutions – they need a professional to thoroughly understand their financial aims, hopes and aspirations before offering advice.

I have spent the last eleven years advising and building relationships with my clients. Helping them to achieve their goals has been – and remains – an immense source of pleasure and satisfaction.
