Testimonials

Independent Financial Solutions is a leading provider of independent financial advice and we work hard to maintain our expert reputation. Here are some words of thanks from our clients.

“The time spent with the adviser always feels unhurried, personal, and responsive to my needs. I never feel I am being pressurized, and feel that the advice is accurate and genuine. This mean a lot to a customer.”

“I find it easy to contact Michael Reidy and he always deals with my questions and business in an efficient and pleasant manner”

“You have had our business because at the first meeting, on a completely unrelated issue, you gave free unbiased advice and didn’t try and sell me anything. That instilled a level of trust which I have found to be rewarding and continued to be met. I also like the treatment we get, of not using jargon and expecting us to have a degree in economics when explaining something. Thank you.”

“I have always found everyone very helpful”

“Dave and the staff seemed very nice and helpful. Thanks”

“Mike (and his colleagues whom I have dealt with on the phone from time to time) has always been supportive and taken extreme care to ensure that I’m kept informed at all times with up to date information on results. I appreciate that he understands his clients’ less than expert knowledge of matters financial and he’s never patronizing or impatient. He has given me confidence with my money. Thank you”

“It has been a pleasure dealing with Amanda this time and all of the times in the past and I’m sure without her help things would not have gone so smoothly or quick. Please pass on our thanks to her and all the staff at IFS”

“I have only been with IFS for a short time but have been very pleased with the service so far. Jon Foster was friendly, professional and took time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. Also the follow up service has been very good so far”

“I was very pleased with the thorough and professional service provided by IFS”

“Clearly has excellent knowledge – very well informed. Very pleasant, respectful manner. Listens well. Doesn’t try to persuade against your will. Very quick coming up with solutions. Feel confident with the management of my finances”

“I first met Matthew when I retired from the employment of a local company who are advised by IFS on a group scheme basis.  I was almost 61 at that time and I wanted to know what my retirement options were and provided Matthew with details of a number of other pensions I had accrued from previous employments.   After reviewing my pension arrangements he recommended I annuitise certain pensions but to retain another to age 65 because of some underlying guarantees. Some 4 ½ years later I have started drawing benefits from this arrangement but only after being awarded a 59% uplift in benefits, paid in cash, after some lengthy questioning from Matthew about the way in which this award should be paid by the life office. This demonstrated to me his professionalism and honesty and my wife and I cannot thank him enough. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew and his colleagues at IFS to others.” Richard Reeds of Portsmouth
