It didn't seem like the survey submitted was reviewed. The title of the meeting was not in line with the agenda. Even after this was stated, it felt like the call has progressed to fill up the time.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial coach?

I wanted to better understand how to manage my finances as I progress through different stages of my life, and wanted a second opinion on how I was currently managing them

How has Toby Collett helped you?

He provided useful insight as to how best to allocate funds for different purposes, helping me make more informed decisions as to where best to put money in and when. He is very pleasant to talk to and has given me confidence in my own financial planning, providing support whenever necessary.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I'm now feeling more secure in the decisions I've made regarding my finances as I progress through my life, which is the place I was hoping to be when I first consulted Toby. We've discussed a few more goals for the future which I'll be working towards and will be looking forward to liaising with Toby as time progresses.

What could they have done better?

I would appreciate constructive feedback on the more detailed side of my finances, in particular my current investment strategy. While Toby has already been giving good advice surrounding this, I would appreciate more detailed discussions on the types of asset classes I should be investing in, better ways of mitigating risk, etc.

Toby's reply

That's great feedback, thank you so much. I look forward to continue working with you and helping you with your finances and hopefully giving closer analysis on your finances and help you reduce your risk when investing!

I had an introductory session call with Toby. Finances can be a sensitive topic. The conversation with Toby was very confortable. This is something I’d look for in a financial coach alongside financial expertise.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial coach?

How has Toby Collett helped you?

He laid out my finances clearly for me and helped me understand how investing and saving work.
