Heron HouseThe hhfm team

We have a team approach and at first contact will guide clients to the most appropriate person in the company to assist them. In addition to our two senior planners we have a well qualified team of fully and part qualified planners who are able to work independently for clients or to work on certain aspects along with a senior planner. This is cost effective for clients paying hourly financial planning rates and also allows us to develop specialists in house for areas such as mortgages, investment trusts and ethical fund investment.
