What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Retirement looming and I had no plan of action , no pension of note and a slightly chaotic collection of small investments
How has Michael Bains helped you?
He has helped me navigate tracing a pension and transferring it and given me clarity to think and make plans for what finances I will need to give me financial stability in retirement ( (7 years)
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
So far I am on track and I feel confident that I can call on Michael anytime if I need any helpful advice
What could they have done better?
Been known to myself a little earlier. I have struggled with on line advice and it is reassuring to be able to sit and discuss things in person with an empathetic professional
