What we do

Understand

Understand

At Ovation, we take the time to get to know you. You’ll notice straight away that we’ll talk about you, not your money. Our first meeting is all about understanding what’s important to you and what you want from life, even if you don’t know yourself to begin with.

Plan

Plan

Once we understand what’s important to you we can start to make a plan. Using our expert knowledge and some financial planning software, we can explore what’s achievable and what actions need to be taken. We can look at different scenarios and your options.

Advise

Advise

Only once stages 1 & 2 are complete we start to use our experience and knowledge of pensions, tax and investments, to help your plan to become reality. As chartered financial planners we work to the highest ethical standards, so you’re in safe hands.

Testimonials

Everything we do is to help our clients achieve their goals: whether that’s early retirement, travelling around the world, getting organised or simply securing peace of mind when it comes to their finances. Here are some of their testimonials.

Russell

client since 2014

I wanted advisers who were caring and looked after not only my finances but me and my family. Not only to increase wealth, but how to look at the bigger picture and enjoy life.
This mindset from the start helped me achieve those goals in various areas and still does with fine tuning investments, protection and inheritance.

Caroline

client since 2001

I was recommended to contact Ovation about 15 years ago now as I wanted to set up a pension plan.
I have been very pleased with the help I have received over the years and with the professional and investment advice I have been given.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Ovation to anyone seeking investment advice.

David

Ovation is a professional company. It communicates well, its administration is excellent, and the annual reviews are always useful. I would certainly recommend Ovation. They are good people and they are warm and fun. Financial advice does not need to be serious!
