Overview

I joined Advice for Life Financial Planning in 2008 as an Account Manager, to support both Partners and Advisers on a technical and administrative level. One of the most enjoyable parts of my role is speaking to clients and I have built a great rapport with them over the years.

I look after all our marketing such as social media and advertising. I really enjoy doing this as I get to engage with our customers through different channels.

I commenced my studies towards becoming a Financial Adviser in early 2015 and I was delighted to have gained my level 4 diploma in Financial Advice in early March 2016. I started in my new role as an adviser in September 2016.

I have recently become a "Dementia Friend" by completing dementia awareness training through Alzheimer's Scotland.

My hobbies and interests include going to watch my beloved Manchester United, going to music gigs and spending time with family and friends.

Miss E

As a self-employed hairdresser, I wasn't sure how I would pay my new mortgage and the rest of my bills if I got sick.

I went to AFL for advice, and they not only provided me with mortgage insurance and critical illness cover, they also provided me with an income protection plan in case I was off work with a short term accident or illness. All of this was for the same monthly price that the bank had quoted me for basic mortgage insurance. I couldn't believe it.

They also advised me on how and why I should start saving for retirement. I now have a pension plan in place. The tax benefits alone are worth it!

I am so glad I went about seeking professional financial advice as there is no way I could have done this myself. I now feel safe and secure that my bills will be paid and I feel comfortable knowing that I am saving into my pension and won't have to fully rely on the state pension when I retire.

Mrs P

Maria is a good adviser, she listens to what you would like to do with your money, then advises on the best way to do it.

She asks a lot of questions, but this is because she can then find out which investments and level of risk you would like to take, then points you in the right direction.

If you need any help or advice, she is only on the end of the phone or you can call into the office just about any time you want.
