Review for Peter Clark
What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial adviser?
I have been with SJP for over 30 years, initially to progress a simple personal pension plan but subsequently broadening out to holistic financial planning and advice.
How has Peter helped you?
Since Peter took over as my financial adviser we have discussed and shaped our approach to a broad number of financial topics and challenges/opportunities, especially around pension planning and inheritance tax. Throughout he has taken a considerable amount of time to ensure he has understood me as an individual and my personal circumstances and motivations, as well as my financial landscape. As well as his direct thoughts and counsel, he has done a great job of bringing to bear the expertise and knowledge base across SJP.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
It is much too early to know whether the actions taken/under consideration will prove to be as valuable as anticipated, but I am extremely confident we are going about things in exactly the right way.
What could they have done better?
I can honestly say that nothing springs to mind!

We have been able to better understand our business position and it has allowed us to make informed decisions for the benefit of ourselves and our business. Tom has been and is proactive in providing advice and is always going the extra yard to keep us informed and provide assistance where needed.

Absolutely, our personal and business finances are in a much better place than previously and we have much more focus. It's great that Tom is so accessible.
