I have found working with Informed Financial Planning to be a satisfactory experience. The staff are efficient and pleasant and always happy to answer questions. My personal adviser, who has advised me on my pension for a number of years, is knowledgeable and I always feel has my best interests at heart. Our annual meetings are always useful and he is a sociable and friendly person to deal with. The company are also flexible about how we meet and through the pandemic have been happy to meet via online platforms.

I have received very professional service from John Copsey at IFP. Advice has been given in a clear and easy to understand fashion. John has a personable approach but one which gives me confidence in the expertise being offered.
He has IFP's well established performance as back up together with excellent administrative support from the team.
I would hesitate to highly recommend IFP.

Retirement advice
Having decided to retire, Joe at IFP helped us to define and cost out our desired lifestyle. This was a really helpful process. Knowing that we can retire and be able to afford to continue to do all the things we want to do is totally liberating.
His patience, expertise and advice has been brilliant. Knowing he's in our corner is very reassuring.

Support and advice provided by IFP
Support and advice provided by IFP, particularly Jo is always prompt and timely. Jo is very patient. I'm a very cautious person, however over the many years I have dealt with IFP they have always provided very balanced advice which has allowed me to make informed choices regarding my financial situation and I have never been pressured into making any financial decisions.
