What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Age, future planning, property succession, IHT, post retirement.
How has Paul McCoubrey helped you?
Paul's advice was user friendly, made easy to understand, and ironed out our existing confusion in a direct and clear manner.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
With Paul's help I can now tackle any problems that may arise in a confident and enthusiastic manner. I will forever be indebted to him for his guidance, thank you Paul.
What could they have done better?
To date My wife and I have no concerns, we were well received and treated with respect. It is always better if the client has done some preparation in advance, as we had, and have a vision of your destination. Paul can then professionally navigate you along that road.
Paul:
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. I'm really pleased to hear that you and your wife felt welcomed, respected, and well-supported throughout the process. It’s always a pleasure to work with clients who come prepared and have a clear vision — it makes our conversations that much more productive and rewarding. I’m glad the advice we discussed was clear and helped to resolve the confusion you were experiencing. Simplifying complex areas such as inheritance tax, succession planning and post-retirement finances is at the heart of what I do, so it’s great to know you found the guidance straightforward and user-friendly. Your comments about feeling more confident and enthusiastic moving forward mean a great deal. That sense of clarity and reassurance is exactly what good financial planning should provide. Thank you again for your kind words, and I look forward to continuing to support you both in the future.Review
