What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Retirement planning and the tidying up of scattered pension pots dominate the accounts left by clients of Smith & Pinching. Adviser Matthew Beck, together with Richard and Kelly, is repeatedly singled out for listening carefully, guiding gently and setting out options in plain written reports and virtual meetings that families find straightforward to follow. Support colleagues including Jasmin and Freya earn similar praise for answering questions quickly and keeping people updated throughout. A recurring theme is openness around charges, which customers describe as transparent with nothing hidden, and the reassurance that investments are monitored rather than left alone.

Households frequently arrive with an untidy array of small pots and report feeling far better organised once the work is done, while one client links the advice directly to retiring at 62. The service is portrayed as tailored to individual family situations, at times delivered through home visits, and dependable across decades of changing markets. Long-standing clients note that their portfolios have carried on growing through financial crises and difficult periods, and the patience and clarity of the advisers remain the most frequently voiced point.

Time was not an issue for Dieter and spent at least a couple of hours at each visit prior to finalising my investment needs. Very knowledgeable and informative, would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody that is looking for Financial Advice.

Been a client for at least 30 years. Am hopeless at understanding the financial and tax worlds so passing decisions onto someone who does understand it all is a big relief. Always dealt with us in a friendly and timely way based on visiting us at home. Would certainly recommend.

Richard has advised on our finances over many years. He has guided us through decisions with clear explanations and patience. Despite what is happening in the world with financial crises, global pandemics, wars, oil shortages etc he has never failed to make our overall portfolio grow. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and Smith and Pinching.

My relationship first started with S&P over 30 years ago. I particularly chose them as they were away from the big smoke of the City of London where I worked myself in financial broking services. My experience throughout has been first class and they have assisted me and my family in making informed decisions to protect our futures. I having nothing but praise.
