His assistant Jamie Cross was also very patient /friendly and explained everything to me well
Nothing but praise for these guys and the company

Both my wife and myself would never have had the confidence and or the expertise to have retired when we did without IFP to help and guide us . Joe Saunders has been a fantastic help to us and hasn't hesitated to point out any flaws in the way we thought retirement would be funded. At the time that covid struck the guidance Joe gave was both strong and correct. My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for all his help. Everyone gets the same high quality of care . Thanks very much Kevin and julie

I would sum up my experience in dealing with Informed Financial Planning as "totally professional:.
Your advisor is always available and willing to discuss in detail any queries or concerns you may have and to provide honest feedback.

Each and every review we have attended we have been given comprehensive detail as to the performance of our investment and a clear understanding of its future expectations.

We are completely satisfied with IFP and would not hesitate to recommend them. What you want in retirement is to feel comfortable and have financial stability and guidance, this is what Informed Financial Planning provide.

Very happy with all Pension advice/planning received

I have been dealing with Josh at IFP for nearly 2 years with regard to my pension. Great advice given from start to finish to ensure my income needs now and in the future are covered. Great communication and regular meetings/calls to ensure I understood income strategy, level of risk, tax planning etc and made sure I was comfortable with the decisions I had made. I would definitely recommend using this company for transparent and honest financial advice.
