About you

You only get one life, so this is the one that matters

You know that you need to take control of your finances to live the life you want. But you’re not an expert in financial planning. And you’re busy; you don’t have the time to research different pensions, investments, savings and insurance options.

But making the wrong decisions about your money could be detrimental to your wealth. And if you don’t have the finances, you can’t live the life you want. That’s why advice matters.

That’s where we come in. We’ve got the expertise and experience you need – in spades. Our Certified and Chartered financial planner Chris Wheatman, is supported by a team of experts in their field. We’re here to provide the financial planning advice you need to live the life you want.

We know that we can’t be all things to all people, so we’ve honed our expertise to focus on clients who are:

Approaching retirement

Perhaps you’ve received your annual pension statement and realised that this just got real – your retirement is no longer in the dim and distant future. Now’s the time to think about when and how you’ll retire.

Business owners

Maybe you’ve had enough of the long hours and the responsibility. Perhaps you’ve received the offer of a lifetime. Then now is the time to put together a plan with a financial planner you can trust.

We have used Advice Matters to advise us and manage our finances for over 20 years. At this stage in our lives, we are now seeing things come to fruition and have peace of mind financially that we have reached our goals.

Our friend in London

We've been talking since 2014

I was a bit scared about having a financial adviser until I met Chris Wheatman. He quickly put my mind at rest; no rushing, no selling, just keeping all information simple, in a language I could understand.

Our friend in Bolton-le-Sands

I have worked with Advice Matters since the business started. Between us, we have regularly reviewed my choice of investments and investment performance. I am pleased to say I am ready for retirement now at the age of 55.

Our friend in Wilmslow

We've been talking since 2004

I have used Advice Matters for about 20 years and have always found them to be a knowledgeable and professional team. My loyalty is to Chris Wheatman personally as he has always been my point of contact. Changing circumstances require changing advice and he has always been able to adapt financial products in a needs-appropriate way.

Our friend in Brazil

We've been talking since 1999

I have been dealing with Advice Matters since I started my first job when I was 17 years of age. The advice that has been given over the past 27 years has been great. Whether it was when I took out my first pension, right through to owning my own house and having to take out life insurance. A company I can recommend to any friends knowing they will be well looked after.

Our friend in Windermere

Advice Matters have changed my view of IFAs, with a client-focused approach, and a genuine concern for my priorities. I feel that with Chris and his team I have someone really competent at my side.
