Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such kind feedback — it is genuinely appreciated. It has been a pleasure working with you over the years, and I'm delighted that the planning we've put in place around inheritance tax, wills and the wider organisation of your finances has left you feeling settled and worry free.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Jonathan has been our fiancial adviser for the last four years. My husband and I went to see Jon to look into our finacial situation after my husband was diagnosed with Sarcoma.
How has Jonathan Willis helped you?
Jon reassured us that we were in good position and not to worry on the finance side but went through our needs and wishes for the near term. He reviewed our portfolio and gave solid advise on how to optimise our assets from IHT and future tax burdens.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Definitely. He is very active in speeding up the whole process and using the latest tools, he immediately actioned and put our requests and wishes into the system.
What could they have done better?
Jon is always improving on the systems he uses and constantly learning to keep upto speed with the everchanging regulations and policies. He has a good supporting team especially PIA.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was retiring early and wanted help to maximise my pensions and investments to provide the desired income.
How has Jonathan Willis helped you?
Jon carried out a review of all my pensions and investments and recommended appropriate schemes which would achieve what I was hoping for. He has recently carried out a further review with some changes to my pensions and investments in order to secure my future retirement income now that I am in receipt of a state pension.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, I have been very pleased with the outcome of the pensions and investments that Jon recommended.
What could they have done better?
Nothing, Jon has been excellent.
Jonathan:
Thank you for your kind words — I’m really pleased to hear you’re happy with the outcome. It’s been a pleasure helping you plan for a secure and sustainable retirement income, and I look forward to supporting you going forward.Review

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was approaching retirement with various pension pots from different employment periods, quite daunting pulling these together.
How has Jonathan Willis helped you?
Jonathan consolidated these various pensions into a central fund, while making recommendations, all of which proved positive.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Steady growth aligning a strategy that aligned with our own threshold for risk.
Jonathan:
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Helping clients approach retirement with clarity and confidence is exactly what we aim to do at Future Start, so your feedback means a great deal. I’m glad the strategy feels aligned and on track.
