Review for Aurelija Buckute

April 2026

What could they have done better?

Not sure that is possible, especially as Aurelija continues to exceed our expectations. We feel very well looked after.

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

I have been with Mearns & Co, with Aurelija being our adviser, since I saw how good they were with my previous employer's employee benefits and pension advice - around 2021/2022.

How has Aurelija helped you?

In numerous ways - all aspects of investment, pension, IHT advice, savings, financial planning, etc.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely - better than we had hoped!

Review for Katrina Bruce

April 2026

What could they have done better?

Everything was done superbly.

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

To ensure I have savings for a rainy day and my retirement & support my family if required.

How has Katrina helped you?

By advising and supporting me to make the best of my income as well as advising on other financial matters. She has always provided excellent information / advice. No question is too silly to be answered - which I very much appreciate.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

Review for Katrina Bruce

April 2026

What could they have done better?

nothing, very happy. Thanks

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

I know how important it is to have someone look after my finances as they are experts and I do not know enough to ensure my finances are are ok by myself, this is why I use Mearns as I trust their knowledge and experience to advise to the highest standards.

How has Katrina helped you?

Katrina has been my financial adviser for many years. In our annual reviews she is very attentive listening and responding with advise, through the turmoil years she has helped me to understand what to do and I really value that too. It is always nice to catch up and see how things have changed over the year and how much closer I am to retirement.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, there have been a lot of turmoil years but we are all in the same boat there. Katrina and Mearns have kept clear communications to make clients understand the situation and the markets.

Review for Graeme McInally

February 2026

What could they have done better?

Nothing

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

It is better to have someone manage the whole (being your long term financial planning) than try to do it yourself.

How has Graeme helped you?

Investment decisions. Forecasting future position. Advising on pension contributions, ISA's and savings. Constantly monitoring financial health.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, Definitely. Investment value is growing well above market.

Review for Malcolm Steel

January 2026

What could they have done better?

Not in my opinion

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

Looked for financial advice many years ago. Came in contact with MEARNS & Co and I have never looked back since. I have been very very happy with their services both commercially in the past and also privately for my personal planning.

How has Malcolm helped you?

Sound advise over the years, good personal goals achieved and such a comfort to have Malcolm and the team at MEARNS help us.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Always
