Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Susan

My first impression having spoken to Susan Tait, over the phone on just one occasion, was good. Susan listen to my thoughts and ideas and offered an outline of potential solutions. Importantly she seems to understand my philosophy on life. Particularly on finance and wealth matters My wife and I have a meeting with Susan in Leeds next week. After that meeting I will have a far better idea of my impression and if Susan and I can work together. So far so good. Thanks, Mike Moloney

Taking voluntary redundancy from work.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

While I haven't been a client for long - just over a year - the early signs are very promising and make me feel it was a good decision to take advice from Susan and her team.

How has Susan Tait helped you?

Susan explained very clearly the options and the implications of each. She and her colleague Luke have really put my mind at ease around the issue of making the right financial decisions for matters that will affect the rest of my life and will have implications also for my wife and children. She also took the time to get a full understanding of the somewhat complex circumstances of our family and our aspirations, which continue to evolve, for the future.

What could they have done better?

Our first meeting was face to face in TPO offices and I found that to be a lot easier than the, obviously necessary online meeting that we had a couple of months back. Obviously there is nothing that your advisers can do about this while covid restrictions remain in place but I hope that we can go back to the face to face meetings if and when those restrictions end.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

We had neither the time nor expertise to deal with our financial affairs on our own.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We did not have a set goal in terms of amount of growth or interest, but we are content that our finances have improved since we were first advised by Susan.

How has Susan Tait helped you?

She systematically and logically reviewed our circumstances and plans for the future, then suggested how we could make better use of our money at the level of risk we were willing to accept. She continues to do this with an annual review and occasional updates throughout the year. We also feel comfortable asking her for advice throughout the year.

What could they have done better?

To answer that question we would need to know more that we do about finance, markets, risk and available products. There was one investment that has led to a significant loss. That was recommended by a previous adviser who worked for the same company as Susan does. However, we accept that not everything can be successful. Our portfolio is mixed, and therefore the loss from one small part is not significant overall.
