About us

We’re an independent, award-winning financial planning firm proudly based in Yorkshire. Founded in 2007 by Greg Robertson and Stephen Baxter, we set out to build a business that was different, that was better and that helped people in the way they deserved - professional, personable and transparent. And that’s exactly what we do to this day.

Your situation is unique. So is our financial advice.

No two lives are the same, so why would we ever give the same advice? When it comes to your finances, we know you need someone who treats you as an individual. Our motto is that we all work for the same boss – and that’s our clients. Everything we do is to give the people who entrust their money to us the best possible experience on their journey.

We believe you shouldn’t have to trawl through jargon-filled reports to understand what’s what. Things should be simple, so we make it so. We speak like real humans and lay things out in a way you’ll understand. Above all, we always do what’s right for you and what you want to achieve. No nonsense, no gimmicks – just honest, independent advice from experts with your best interests in mind.

We look at the big picture

We have a holistic approach to financial planning, one that considers all aspects of our clients’ lives and truly covers all angles. We don’t just focus on now, we look to what’s next – so that no matter what happens, we have a plan of action to help you achieve your goals. We call it our ‘Full Circle Approach’, and it works.
