Do you know what you're paying for?

It seems a simple question, yet one we find that not all recipients of financial advice understand. Many aren’t really clear about what charges they are actually paying and what service they are receiving for said payment.

One of the goals of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has been to bring greater clarity to what consumers pay for and what service they receive from the financial services industry, but many people still aren’t fully aware.

Armstrong Watson Financial Planning Limited is a long established firm of Independent Financial Advisers and has been awarded Chartered Financial Planner status by the Chartered Insurance Institute. Unlike some firms we do not charge for an initial meeting, during which we take time to establish your financial needs, objectives, goals and risk appetite. Only when we’re fully aware of these can we provide advice.

We operate a no surprises philosophy and offer a variety of service and payment options depending upon your requirements, agreeing the cost of our services before commencing work.

We have 15 offices located across the North of England and South Scotland. If you are interested in arranging a meeting to discuss your financial affairs, please contact us.
