About

About me: As founder, director and principal adviser, I have some 35 years’ experience in financial services and became an adviser in 1992. With a degree in Law and Sociology from Exeter University, I have completed the Chartered Insurance Institute’s Advanced Financial Planning qualification and am a member by Diploma of the Personal Finance Society. And about my company: I set up Philip James Independent Financial Advice (James is my middle name) in 2011. We are directly authorised with the Financial Conduct Authority and so, as it says on the tin, we are completely independent and not part of a network or tied to another big company. We'll help you to invest responsibly, organise your pensions and savings, plan for retirement and both give, gladly and receive, sadly. We believe that financial advice does not need to be complicated and that our job is to leave you feeling better about your money - and your life.
