Hear From My Clients

I believe in making a real difference in people’s financial journeys. Here’s what some of my clients have to say about their experience with me:

Highly Professional Advice

March 26, 2026

We met with Alan through a recommendation to discuss retirement plans and were immediately taken with how professional, thorough and friendly he was. We engaged with two other IFA’s but these did not measure up to Alan. Alan has the brilliant ability to explain financial constructs in easy to understand jargon free ways. We are very happy with our choice of IFA and having the backing of Intelligent Financial Advisory company. Sterling service Mr Barber !

Alan has provided financial advice for me for 20 years. His advice on investments and inheritance tax trusts has been invaluable saving my family tens of thousands of pounds. I always enjoy our meetings and look forward to our discussions.

The cash-flow planning in particular was eye-opening

January 27, 2026

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Alan. As a resident doctor, retirement planning had always felt distant and overwhelming, but Alan provided clear, thoughtful advice and mapped out a realistic path forward for my future.

The cash-flow planning in particular was eye-opening—it motivated me to take action and really helped me understand the importance of starting to save early. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, without any pressure, and I now feel far more confident about my long-term finances.

Thank you, Alan—your guidance has been hugely appreciated.
