Dean and TPO were recommended to me by a close friend, as with retirement on my mind, I needed a review of my Financial position. During the one hour meeting it became clear that there no need for any additional products, and Dean was extremely accommodating and I found him to very thorough and professional. He answered my incessant questions without any issues and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking an independent review of their finances

Dean has overseen our long-term financial planning for retirement - something I can enjoy earlier than I ever thought thanks to him.

Nothing! They use a very conservative model, that bases growth on a really low (3%) assumption, allow for difficult markets, and show you the impact of any decision/drawdown over the rest of your life. An all round fantastic service, backed by some good modelling technology.
