Thorough, proactive and professional financial advice

Taylor has managed my pension schemes for more than 5 years now, as well as advising on life cover, and he has always provided an exceptionally thorough and professional service. He is proactive in giving advice and preparing for annual reviews, and I know I can completely trust him to serve my best interests. His colleague at Universe Financial Advice, Sharon, is also very proactive, helpful, efficient and responsive, and I am happy to highly recommend their services.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. Taylor has been brilliant, with excellent communication throughout the process of combining two pensions into one new one. A thoroughly professional service that I would be very happy to recommend to anyone.

Universe Financial Advice has been… an energetic, knowledgeable and valuable partner in my financial progression

Universe Financial Advice has been incredibly supportive in helping me to identify my financial goals and to put in place strategies to achieve them. Taylor has given me confidence in what I'm doing by providing projections and advising me on important areas such as fees which can heavily impact my pension and savings efforts in the long term. The firm is very proactive in checking in and updating me on items I need to be aware of and responds very rapidly to any queries or requests I raise, providing speedy confirmations and quick processing. Taylor makes everything easy to understand and I very much trust his knowledge and insights. He's also a lovely guy who is friendly, engaged and happy to discuss my personal circumstances and planning ideas.

Excellent service and advice from Taylor.

Thank you Taylor for all your help and advice concerning our family pension planning.

We would highly recommend Taylor and Universe Financial Advice. Taylor is both extremely knowledgeable and caring, taking the time to truly understand our needs, goals and objectives. We liked the fact that the process was effortless, and Taylor took the time to explain things, offering alternatives where necessary, so we really felt that we have had the best advice, and were able to make informed choices all with zero pressure.

Taylor Beavis of Universal Financial Advice

Taylor Beavis came to see me and was most helpful. He took a lot of trouble going into my finances in detail and then giving me excellent advice. I can only say I would recommend Universe Financial Advise to anyone needing some help with their finances.

Great service and practical advice

Taylor was recommended by my accountant after I asked his opinion on advice I had received from another pension adviser as I was concerned about the high costs.

Taylor has been brilliant - open, honest, responsive and we have got a better, more cost effective solution for our pension requirements.

Highly recommend and we are already planning how we can get Taylor's advice on the rest of our financial affairs.

Truly trustworthy, approachable and highly competent

We feel very fortunate to have had Taylor recommended to us after other Financial Advisors had not been so receptive to help with our difficult situation regarding unacceptable pension management.

Taylor immediately addressed a very complex and long standing dispute with a pension provider. He even found and quickly dealt with matters of poor administration we were not even aware of

Every communication to Taylor was very quickly responded to and updates were frequently provided. We could not have felt more confident he was handling the difficult problem with our pension provider with determination and total competence to get us the very best outcome.

Taylor's friendly and understanding approach to our situation was much appreciated.  He was particularly outstanding in the way he engaged and sympathetically handled an elderly and vulnerable client with complete understanding.

We simply could not recommend Taylor more highly.

Taylor has provided me with great advise tailored my specific needs. He has helped me sort pout both my company and personal pensions as well as provided financial advise for my savings. He's always helpful in answering any queries I have and explains things in a simple and concise manner when I need it. Couldn't rate the service any higher and I would highly recommend his services

Helpful and approachable

I contacted Taylor for advice about my pensions as well as what to do with some inheritance money. After a chat about my circumstances he clearly laid out what he does for his clients and how he does it.

Although it turned out myself and my partner (who also decided to ask for advice) were doing all the right things already, he gave us a few tips and it was so helpful to have that reassurance. He also did some retirement modelling for us so we could see what kind of income we're looking at retiring on based on our current contributions which was great.

All in all I would highly recommend Taylor and the team for their straight forward advice and friendly approach. You can really tell they care about each and every one of their clients!

Bespoke financial advice from a talented professional

Taylor has been providing me with financial advice for both personal and workplace pensions. He has a rare combination of qualities: he is an expert in his field, explains tricky concepts patiently and thoughtfully, and finds genuine connections with his clients. There is a genuine warmth to Taylor's approach, which is much needed in the jargon and acronym-laden world of finance. I feel my financial future is in good hands!

Highly recommended - approachable and knowledgeable

I would highly recommend Taylor at Universe Financial Advice for anyone who is looking to improve their financial planning, whatever level of income. Despite the fact that I only work part time due to raising children, Taylor has assessed my finances and consolidated old pensions and investments and I feel 100% confident that my money is well looked after. I'm so glad I sought his advice as the funds I do have are now working for me rather than just sitting there doing nothing.

An IFA you can wholeheartedly trust!

Taylor has been there for all of our financial needs. Initially starting with investment advice and support and arranging Stocks & Shares ISA’s. And later arranging our Wills as well as arranging much needed life insurance and protection ahead of the birth of our first child. As a young couple who were somewhat clueless about our financial affairs he has helped us so much. He explains everything in layman’s terms and has been so open and honest in terms of his advice, never advising products that were of no need or benefit to us. Having a financial adviser you can wholeheartedly trust is so important to us as a couple and thanks to Taylor we feel very financially secure as a new family. He’s always at the end of the phone if you have a query and nothing ever seems too much trouble for him and his team.

Taylor was able to dedicate time to understand our specific situation and provided detailed explanations throughout the entire process that were easy for us to understand. He keeps us well informed and up to date. I am confident knowing that Taylor respects and treats our privacy very professionally. I would highly recommend Universe Financial Advice to all my friends and family.

The Best Advice

I wasn't sure that I had the right level of insurance cover to support the needs of my changing family set up. Taylor was great and completed a thorough assessment of what cover I had and what the potential gaps were. Afterwards I felt really confident that the level of protection I already had was actually pretty good with some small additions. I found he was really approachable and his attention to detail is excellent. It has been great to know that I have someone that I can rely on for my own financial advice but also who I can recommend to friends and family.
