I felt I had no control or plan of my finances. I was running blind.

How has Rebecca Cherry helped you?

Firstly but understanding exactly what I had in the first place. Secondly by working out where do you actually want to be in x years. Thirdly by getting a plan together on how to get there. Fourthly and most importantly, constantly making sure that you are on track and if not what you need to do to change track. So so important.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes I have. My outcome has been far improved from my do it yourself version. I have seen modest but consistent gains throughout the turbulent times over the last several years, way better than I expected. One of the side benefits of someone like Rebecca is constantly re-evaluating. When you do it yourself you put your plan into position and you don't look at it again until it's in tatters. With Rebecca you are constantly checking and asking the questions, are my original goals still valid, is my plan still fitting in with my goals do I need so much do I need more. You need an independent person like Rebecca to do that you can not do it alone.

What could they have done better?

As an advisor she is perfect and there is not much I can critique on her personally. I think that technology plays a role more these days and how that technology is accessible and presented could be improved.
