TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

FAQS

Some frequently asked questions.

Yes. One of the things that sets Acumen apart is our commitment to meeting clients in person. We believe important financial decisions are best made when you feel comfortable and supported, so we’re happy to arrange face-to-face meetings either in our offices, at your home in Crosby, or at a place convenient for you. We find that these meetings help build stronger relationships and allow us to explain complex financial matters clearly. Of course, if you prefer, we also offer phone and video consultations for flexibility.

Yes, we are fully FCA-regulated independent financial advisers. This means we are not tied to any one provider, bank or insurance company. Instead, we look across the whole of the market to find solutions that genuinely fit your circumstances. Some advisers are restricted, meaning they can only recommend a limited range of products – but at Acumen, our independence ensures our recommendations are unbiased, impartial and always in your best interests.

We believe financial advice should always be transparent. Your first consultation with us is free, giving you the opportunity to discuss your goals and see how we can help without any obligation. If you choose to move forward, we will explain all of our fees clearly and in advance, so you know exactly what to expect. Costs will depend on the complexity of your needs – for example, managing investments may involve different fees to setting up protection, but there are never any hidden charges.

Whereas some financial advisers still attempt to offer both personal financial planning and investment management in-house, Acumen’s research shows that this does not work. The evidence points to better results for clients where their advisers concentrate on what they do best, which is financial planning.

Our clients tell us they value three things about working with us: our local presence, our independent status, and our long-term support. Many advisers now focus only on remote services, but we still prioritise face-to-face meetings and building strong personal relationships. Because we are independent, we search the whole of the market rather than being tied to a small panel of providers. And unlike advisers who provide one-off recommendations, we continue to review, adapt and improve your financial plan over time – so it always stays aligned with your goals.
