What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Retirement planning and the consolidation of workplace pensions are the projects that dominate feedback from clients, who describe advice delivered with notable clarity. Several reviewers highlight how complicated financial matters are made understandable, often through graphs and charts that show how money is working, and this supports confident decision-making. Named advisers including Darren Bilkey, Gary Andrews, Graham Westhall, Martin Josey and Sam each attract praise for their knowledge, patience and approachable manner.

Something that features in review after review is the speed of response, with queries answered quickly and, at times, outside conventional working hours; one account describes a revised mortgage offer obtained in under two days when an original timescale became unworkable. The arrangement of Powers of Attorney also features among the work undertaken. Face-to-face meetings are valued for suiting clients' circumstances, while the reliability of advisers who follow through on what they promise and allow generous time for decisions is a recurring observation. Underpinning the feedback is trust in the firm's integrity and financial expertise, with clients describing a caring and unhurried service.

Darren is kind and very helpful. He responds very quickly to any queries or questions one may have with care and patience. I have no hesitation in recommending him to you.

In the time we have had advice from Graham at T.F.A. it has been helpful and to the point. No matter how long or requiring detailed explanation, time is made. I would recommend him as a adviser for as long as is required.

Darren, at TFA has been a superb financial advisor to us. He is proactive and we feel confident that he has researched his advice to us well. So far his advice has worked out very well for us.

Maurice Scant at TFA has been advising my wife and me for several years now. He came personally recommended by former work colleagues. His advice is friendly, accurate and comes from a vast experience in the field. He goes to great lengths to understand our personal goals and requirements so that the advice is fully tailored to our needs. I have since recommended Maurice to other colleagues and would recommend him to anyone who needs unbiassed, top quality advice. We trust Maurice to look after our money and make sure it's working for us.

My wife and I would highly recommend Darren Bilkey for financial advice. We had many pensions brought together when leaving our work place. He has made our transition into retirement hassle free. He explains everything clearly with graphs and charts helping us understand how our money is working for us. He is also easy to talk to, very knowledgeable in his field and a very nice chap. Thank you Darren.

Sam has been an amazing adviser. She has been thorough and swift. No questions were left unanswered, often replying in evenings/weekends as things changed rapidly in our move process. We were particularly impressed with how quickly Sam was able to get a new mortgage offer for us when it became clear we couldn't complete within the timescale of our original offer - less than 2 days from enquiry to having the revised offer.

Darren is very personable and professional in his approach. His advice is spot on and very measured on the highs and lows of investing. We are very happy with his recommendations and trust his financial knowledge and integrity.
