Testimonials

VIEW ALL

I had the pleasure of working with Claudia recently, I was recommended Claudia by a family member so contacted her. 
I wanted to sort out my pension, I had been with the same provider for many years and did not feel this suited my long term needs anymore. I wanted a more tax efficient way of utilising my pension. 

After an initial chat, I felt so confident in her ability to help me with my financial affairs. 
We corresponded over the next few weeks, Claudia was professional, friendly and thorough in her communications and advice to me. 

We agreed which changes to my  pension would benefit me, both long and short term. She took care of everything, keeping me informed and updated throughout the process. 

Claudia has made me feel more confident and secure in my future financial affairs and we have agreed to review my finances on a regular basis, ensuring my investments are as efficient as possible. 

I would recommend Claudia to anyone who has not reviewed their pension in a while, or who wants to look at tax efficiency in their pension, investments and financial affairs.

Working with Claudia has been a genuinely transformative experience for our financial future. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our goals, our family circumstances and our appetite for moderate risk, given that as a couple we have a slightly different risk appetite. Her guidance was instrumental in helping us make informed decisions about our pensions, inheritance tax planning and investments , not just for the short term but with a clear view toward the medium and long term.

One of the most valuable outcomes of our work together was Claudia’s support in selecting the right fund manager and crafting a combination of funds and investment vehicles that perfectly aligned with our investment horizon and comfort level. It wasn’t just about numbers—it was about feeling confident that our financial strategy reflects who we are and what we want for our family.

What we appreciated most was Claudia’s clarity, patience, and genuine care. She made complex topics feel approachable and always ensured we felt in control of the decisions we were making. Her advice was never one-size-fits-all—it was thoughtful, tailored, and forward-looking.

We now feel far more secure about our financial future and are grateful for the peace of mind her expertise has provided. We would wholeheartedly recommend Claudia to anyone seeking financial advice—especially those navigating retirement planning, estate considerations, or investment choices with family in mind. Her insight and personal approach make all the difference.

A.K & M.K

Claudia has been brilliant in helping us with our financial planning. We didn't really know what we needed (apart from some sort of help!) and she really took the time to understand both our family goals and our personal goals, as well as what matters to us, what concerns us, and how this all interacts with our finances and our actual life. 

She handled a couple of remortgages for us effectively and sensitively, making sure that we got the products that best fit within our wider financial picture. But it was really the advice that Claudia's provided around these that's been so impactful for us. Everything has been clear, considered, and completely trustworthy, and we will absolutely be continuing to use her and recommending her to anyone we know!

DT & LT

Working with Claudia has been a pleasure! I've had the opportunity to refer several of my accounting clients to her for financial planning advice. 

The feedback I've received from them has been consistently positive, highlighting Claudia's competence, diligence, and the value she brings to her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Claudia to anyone seeking a trustworthy and knowledgeable financial advisor.

M. N

Claudia has been absolutely amazing. Before I didn't know much about pensions, I didn't have a clue to be honest. After becoming a full time sole trader, I knew I needed help sorting out a private SIPP as I've contributed to my work based pension for years beforehand. I'm happy knowing my money is safe but also growing for my future.

Recently after getting a good financial base started, she's now started helping me maximise my savings as being a high rate tax payer, I wanted to protect any interest from falling into over into taxable interest as much as I can. Would highly recommend, she's lovely, super friendly and always there to help.

L. C

I cannot recommend Claudia Button highly enough. From our first meeting, she took the time to really listen and understand my personal circumstances, goals, and concerns with no pressure At All to move my portfolio over to her. 

She has guided me through important decisions pertinent to me with patience and professionalism and she explains financial matters in a clear and approachable way never making me fee overwhelmed or embarrassed to ask for more details.

I do feel comfortable that my financial future is in safe hands and that I have her support. If I am concerned about anything or have a general question re finances she gets back to me quickly. For someone looking for a knowledgeable, approachable, and trustworthy advisor I would wholeheartedly recommend Claudia.

V.R

We’ve been with Claudia for many years, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for better support. She’s been there for us every step of the way, from helping us with savings and pensions to now guiding us into our retirement planning. What we’ve really appreciated is how approachable she is. 

No matter what questions we have, Claudia is always ready to explain, reassure, and, if needed, go the extra mile to sort things out. It’s made a huge difference knowing we’ve had someone so professional and caring looking after us. We’d happily recommend her to anyone in need of financial guidance.

Our process

1
In depth Discovery

We take more time to get to know you well and build a deep understanding of your life, career, family, your existing planning and experiences, goals and aspirations. 

Our onboarding is not a quick meeting or sales pitch; we take the time to truly get to know you. This is your chance to ask us any questions, and for us both to see if we are a mutual fit.

2
Research & Analysis

We take the time to analyse your existing positions and consider how your current plans fit into your forward planning. We assess your arrangements and create a detailed report of our assessments, recommendations and guidance, based on your future financial aspirations. 

We will start to tailor a financial plan guided by our findings from our in depth discovery phase.

3
Strategy & Implementation

We will carefully present our findings to you, allowing for deeper conversation and collaboration to ensure that we are on the same page. We will provide our recommendations and refine any areas that need extra attention to ensure that you have a financial plan that reflects your plans, your values and your legacy. 

There is no pressure to move forward at this point, but if you are happy to proceed we will move to implementation and formalise any arrangements for you.

4
Ongoing support and monitoring

Regular reviews with our on going guidance, analysis and advice, ensures that your plans are constantly kept up to date and relevant in changing landscapes. Although we like to keep in touch with clients regularly during the year, we will always ensure that we set aside the time for a full review of all the plans we put in place. 

These reviews are essential to ensure that your plans stay relevant and effective, adapting to changes in tax, legislation, and your personal circumstances.
