Howard recently completed a full financial review for myself and my wife. The process was effectively managed from start to finish. Howard’s attention to detail was absolutely thorough without being at all intrusive. He was unfailingly patient, fully attentive to our needs and feelings and professional in his manner at all times. The Cash-Flow projections he supplied to us were particularly helpful and informative for assisting us with our future planning. We would fully recommend Howard - a financial adviser who listens and who is totally impartial!”
