Welcome to Castle Financial Planning with me, John Castle.
I’ve been a financial adviser for more than 25 years, and have helped many individuals, families and business owners to successfully manage their finances. Having worked for some of the UK’s largest financial service companies, I formed my own practice to focus on helping my clients achieve their financial goals.
Being independent means that I don’t work for any other institutions. I work solely for my clients and in their best interests. It also means I have access to the whole marketplace and can recommend the most suitable product or service for your circumstances and needs.
The advice we provide is fully guaranteed and is backed by £2m of Professional Indemnity insurance, offering further peace of mind.
The information below provides an overview of our service, how it works and how you can potentially benefit. If you’d like some help with your financial planning, please feel free to get in touch.
Our Approach
I’ll take the time to get to know you and understand the things that matter most to you, including your plans and hopes for the future, as well as any concerns you may have. Then we’ll review your current financial position and to what extent your finances are in alignment with the things you want to achieve.
Wherever you may need it, I’ll provide you with clear and sound advice to help you build, manage and protect your wealth. By working together, we will ensure your financial plan is in good shape and working optimally for you, bringing you confidence, reassurance and peace of mind.
