Why Take Financial AdviceWhy take financial advice

Before you can determine what the value in paying for professional advice is, you must first understand what a financial adviser can do for you.

Financial advisers help set and assess appropriate, realistic and manageable financial goals.

So why should you pay for an adviser when you manage your own money, already have a pension or turn to the internet for all of life’s questions? Simple, even a seemingly straight forward financial goal can involve numerous decisions and a lot of time and effort to make your optimal return of investment. Just like you wouldn’t want to try to fix a broken-down car without any auto mechanic training or build a house without paying an architect, you should not make life-altering financial decisions without asking for at least some degree of paid for help.

How can we help achieve your financial goals?

At Vance Financial Management, we provide individuals and businesses with clear, straightforward and concise advice. For us it is so important that you feel comfortable and fully understand the advice we’re giving you and we do so in a very approachable manner.

We add value by assessing your individual risk attitude and we only guide our clients to investments that reflect their financial objectives, needs and requirements, and period of time they are looking to invest for, in correlation with whatever goals you have for the future.

We don’t look at one solution. We look at an overall strategy for you and we manage that strategy on a regular basis because economic, regulatory, and the fiscal climate always change so they must always be taken into consideration. We pride ourselves on our dynamic and proactive business approach, and over the years as financial advisers, we’ve
created an excellent reputation for honesty, integrity, and service and fully commit to our four key promises:

  • Honest Assessments – We only take on clients when we’re sure we can help them with their finances. If we can’t help you, we won’t try.
  • Tailored Strategy – We assess your needs and wants to create a tailored offering that is suitable for your requirements, so you’ll never pay for a service you don’t need.
  • Transparency – You’ll never be kept in the dark at any point, we’ll communicate with you clearly in plain English so you know exactly what we’re doing and why, as well as what comes next.
  • Personal Communication – Whenever you have a question or you’re confused by something, you can always speak to your dedicated adviser who is never more than a phone call away.

W. & M. R

At our first meeting with David, more than five years ago, he quickly grasped the key issues in our financial situation and provided advice and guidance which has proved to be a very positive foundation for managing transition to retirement.
When circumstances required prioritisation of attention and energy to other areas of our lives, it was reassuring to know he was continuing to monitor and review. He quickly responded to any questions we had and promptly dealt with matters which required attention.
The prospect of challenges ahead is less daunting, knowing that we have his continued support and interest in ensuring positive outcomes in our financial planning.

Dr B. B.

Retired Psychologist
David always gives me exceptional advice, always taking care to make sure he understands my personal requirements. He visits my home at a time convenient to me and on his last visit, he potentially saved me thousands of pounds by working out that I could pay off my mortgage and invest the money saved in a more appropriate pension fund. Win, win! I am a single parent and don’t earn a huge salary. Financial advisers are for everyone though and I am delighted with the advice I have received. See you next year David.
