What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I had taken up a new job and was looking for some advice on how I can best plan out my new salary

How has Rikesh Bhatt helped you?

Rikesh provided me 5 steps to follow that I can use to make my money work for me. He educated me on the problems of inflation and why I should be making my money work for me. He also provided me with knowledge on where I can be holding my money and how to do it.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I only took my appointment today so I am unsure to say however looking at the advice he has given me it looks likely that I can reach my financial goals over the next few years

What could they have done better?

I don't think Rick could have done anything better for me he was very useful today, I can give a better judgement on this in a few months when I have started to implement his ideas.

Rikesh was excellent! Explained things without using jargon, made sure we understood what he was talking about. Provided great advice, walked us through the steps he would be taking. I will be recommending him to friends and family. Looking forward to our next meeting.
