I’ve spoken to a few advisers over the years, but Dylan was the first person to make financial planning feel straightforward.

James Pope – Essex Financial Planning

Although I work in London, I really wanted a financial planner closer to home rather than someone based in the City. After speaking with Dylan, I knew I’d made the right choice. We went through my pensions, investments and longer-term plans in a way that was clear and easy to understand, and I never felt like I was being rushed through the process. It’s reassuring to have someone local in Chelmsford who I can build a long-term relationship with. I’d happily recommend Dylan to anyone in Essex looking for straightforward financial planning advice.
