What our clients say
Mark Whittaker, Stamford
We were looking for some independent advice and reached out to SFIA, principally in relation to school fees planning. The advice we have received has always been well considered and presented and there has never been any suggestion that we are experiencing any sort of ‘hard-sell’. My adviser has been extremely efficient and thorough and the relationship has developed into one of great trust. He is incredibly responsive and his advice is always properly tailored to our needs.

My adviser weighed up my needs and lifestyle very thoroughly and efficiently and was constantly upbeat despite my having only quite modest means. She was right on target with ideas and showed an excellent understanding of my situation, allying this to an upbeat and friendly attitude which inspired confidence and assurance.
