What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Individuals weighing up retirement, particularly those in public sector schemes, form the bulk of the feedback for this advisory firm, with reviewers mentioning work on SPPA statements, NHS arrangements and the McLeod remedy alongside teaching pension schemes. Steven Haldane is named repeatedly for guiding clients through each element of their position, and his manner is described as approachable yet professional, backed by what reviewers call extensive knowledge of the subject. Clarity of explanation is a point that comes up often: confusing documentation is translated into plain terms, figures are worked through against personal circumstances, and written summaries are supplied afterwards in easily understood tables.

Prompt administration is also praised, with appointments arranged quickly and queries handled by email, telephone or a pre-arranged Teams meeting, including one case where a tight deadline was met with a call the following day. Customers writing about their orders describe leaving with reduced uncertainty and greater confidence about their next steps, and those who admit to knowing little about pensions report gaining a sound grasp of their position. Neil is likewise named for clear explanations and a helpful written summary.

I met with Steven Haldane this morning on Teams to discuss some of the trickier sections of my teacher's retirement form. He explained everything really clearly and answered the questions I had. I now have a much clearer picture of the choices I have to make. My husband attended the meeting too and he also found the pension information helpful. Would definitely recommend.

I am very happy with the service that I received. I'm in the realms of retirement and I was unsure about my options and in the dark about how the pension scheme worked. Steven was very knowledgeable and able to explain my options to me very clearly which has helped me to make an informed decision. Thank you very much; I highly recommend the service!

I required information about retiring early and the impact of this on my pension payments. A meeting was very easy to organise through the EIS and they put me in touch with my area Financial Services advisor, Neil McDowall. He promptly attended to my request and provided me with the information I needed ,offering considerate, sensitive and honest advice. Neil spoke me through the SPPA document and cleared up some confusion I had regarding the Legacy/ CARE pension schemes and provided me with an estimate of my possible payments. Neil then showed me how to complete the documentation required to begin the process with my employer. I can not thank Neil enough for the time he spent with me explaining and answering my questions and making the process much clearer. I very much appreciate the time and effort he put into my case and will be recommending him to my fellow colleagues.

I felt utterly bewildered when faced with the pension information I had received, fortunately Steven was happy to talk me through my options in a friendly and patient way. He advised me to take a week or two to think about my decision then get back to him for help with the next step. I have now completed the application feeling confident that he would happily answer any questions I might have had at any stage in this tricky process. I am extremely grateful for the cheerful assistance, I would highly recommend this service.

I needed some financial advice about my public sector pension options. Initially I was offered an appointment a couple of weeks away as it was a busy time due to the end of the financial year. As soon as Steven Haldane, EIS Financial Services) learned that I had a limited timeframe, he managed to fit me in with a call the next day. Steven was friendly, knowledgeable and really clear in explaining things. He gave me the advice I needed to make a decision and complete the forms for SPPA. I realise now that had I not had this conversation with Steven I would probably have made the wrong choices. He understood my situation perfectly and did not try and ‘push’ products or talk me into anything, advising me to enjoy the last days of working and relax into retirement, with a view to contacting him again further down the line for either a face-to-face meeting or Teams call, whichever I prefer. This approach has taken a huge amount of stress off me, and so I’ll probably take him up on the offer when I’m ready. Thanks again, Steven!
