"I wanted to invest a lump sum post my retirement.Sarah Butler from Bark Financial Ltd was recommended.I was given advice to split my investment to maximise various tax allowances and to be within my risk assessment of low/medium.
An honest, ethical and highly professional face to face meeting was consolidated by a secure online platform with Quilter.
Quarterly reviews and practical advice has followed. Quite an education! Particularly in turbulent times.
Oh, and there is a bonus. Well, two actually. HMRC is contributing annually to my pension plan – and I can offset against Inheritance Tax.
Well done Sarah!"
