Found managing investments stressful ,wanted long term planning. .wanted all our savings in one place
How has Tara Wood helped you?
Taken all the stress out of our financial planning. Given information and advice about inheritance tax. Gently pointing out where we could simplify our everyday savings but insuring we had available money for holidays etc.Tara always makes us feel we are important clients.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
After a very poor economic start our savings have stabalised.
What could they have done better?
We had a poor start as we had a long wait for our enquiry, and I had re invested my money.since then communication has been good.,
