I cannot put into words how good these guys are. Nick and Stephen are fantastic. They knew exactly what they were talking about. Left with a great feeling and a sense of direction. 100% recommend them to anyone.

I highly recommend Nick and Stephen at Roskow independent advisory. They gave realistic and no BS advice, which was truly invaluable. Cannot thank them enough.

A larger independent practice than most, Roskow brings a full team of advisers across two cities and a structured, strategy-first process. Independence (its own licence, PIFA-aligned) means no product conflicts; the evidence-based, low-cost investment approach suits long-term investors. A bigger firm means confirming which adviser you will work with day to day.
