With experience on both sides of the financial advice profession, I am now proud to call myself an Independent Financial Adviser. My passion lies in helping individuals who are approaching or already enjoying retirement achieve financial peace of mind. I provide tailored advice on pensions, investments, insurance, and tax-efficient financial planning. My commitment is solely to my clients, ensuring their best interests are always at the forefront. As an independent adviser, I am not tied to any specific providers, insurance companies, or investment managers. My remuneration comes directly from my clients for the expertise, advice, and guidance I provide—never from selling products. This allows me to deliver unbiased advice with complete transparency. I prefer to operate on an agreed fixed fee basis, rather than a percentage of your investment. This approach helps to protect your wealth from erosion over the long term, keeping more of your money where it belongs—in your pocket. Recently, I joined forces with Matthew Slessor to develop Eden House Financial Services, driven by a shared vision for how we do business: Personal & High Quality Service: We value long-term relationships and provide face-to-face service where you will work directly with either myself, Matt, or both of us. True Independence: Our advice is free from biases and conflicts of interest, ensuring that our clients' needs are always the priority. Collaborative Approach: Many clients benefit from the expertise of not just a financial adviser, but also an accountant and solicitor. Our Eden House office is designed as a welcoming space where clients can meet with all their professional advisers simultaneously. This collaborative environment ensures the highest quality advice while saving time and energy for all parties involved. Wealth & Wellbeing: For clients experiencing bereavement or trauma, we offer the option to speak with specialist psychotherapy and counselling practitioners in-house, before addressing financial matters. We believe that emotional well-being is an integral part of financial planning. If you'd like to arrange an initial, no-obligation consultation, please feel free to get in touch at arran@edenhousefinancialservices.co.uk. The value of your investment can go down as well as up. You could get back less than when you invested. Get help with a wide range of investment options, including equities, funds, bonds, and ISAs. Warning: The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested. Get help on making a plan for a comfortable retirement; whether it’s starting a pension or understanding how much you should be contributing to one. Warning: The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested.
