About BAW

With over 100 years’ experience between us, we’re a passionate, committed and expert team, providing independent financial planning advice.

Our clients have typically accumulated a portfolio of investments and pension plans and want to ensure these funds are appropriately managed.  Our aim is to help them map out a comprehensive, flexible plan that meets their goals and aspirations now and in the future.

At the core of this service, is the importance we attach to building long-term, one-on-one, strategic relationships with our clients, based on mutual trust and understanding.

If you’re looking for bespoke, expert financial planning advice, we believe you’ll be impressed by our unique approach.

Our Guiding Principles

Independence, expertise, trust; these are the core pillars on which the business was founded. We believe that being independent is vitally important, not least because it gives us the freedom to give our clients the unbiased advice they need on every aspect of their finances. This means we aren’t beholden to third parties and are free to make the right decision every time on behalf of our clients.

Our Promise to You

Our aim is clear; we want to help you make the most of your wealth. We do this by offering expert advice and monitoring your plan as your circumstances change.  We think you’ll find the service we provide is completely bespoke, comprehensive and efficient. If you find this approach attractive and refreshing, get in touch.
