Review from verified client for , Calum O'Donnell
How has Calum helped you since your last review?
Ongoing Calum contacts us regularly to discuss our finances and ensure we are on track with our pension planning. The plan he handles for us had seen excellent growth, this dropped with Covid but has recovered much better than other pension plans. Overall excellent service and communication, we would highly recommend Calum.

Review from verified client for , Calum O'Donnell
What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser?
I needed an adviser who could review my financial and pension position as part of a divorce settlement. A critical aspect was to decipher, in a manner I could easily understand, the impact of a number of pensions and various other financial aspects I manage to hold.
How did Calum help you?
Calum provided clear and easy to understand financial and pension advice for the immediate divorce settlement, which was crucial for me but also fair to my former spouse. Calum went on to show me the implications, using various scenarios, of the same in regard to my long term position. Calum was responsible for a financial watershed moment in the divorce which had a significant impact on me personally and for which I will always be grateful.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes in more was than I could ever have expected. Calum has a very likeable personality and is fair and professional to his core.
What could they have done better?
Calum exceeded my expectation so hard to see what he could have done better.
