"Integrity, care, dedication and collaboration" are the core values of Warwickshire's trusted, independent financial advisers, Simpson Financial Services Ltd.

Simpson Financial Services, (SFS), based on Cross Street in Leamington, was founded by Rob Simpson in 2004. 

Launched on the principles of independence and personalised service, the company works with individuals and businesses to help them reach their financial goals. 

Its friendly team of experienced advisers offers bespoke support in areas including: financial planning and wealth management, mortgage advice & property finance, savings, investments, retirement planning, tax and estate planning, protection and insurance solutions and business financial planning.

Adele Tiff, Director of the company, said: "We've been providing holistic financial advice to the Leamington Spa community for more than 20 years. 

"Integrity, care, dedication and collaboration are our core values; every client comes to us with a unique financial situation and personal aspirations, and we tailor our advice and services to help them reach their goals."

Free from commercial third-party influence, the firm's advisers deliver impartial, tailored advice, whether you're planning for retirement, investing for the future, or managing family finances.

SFS' approach centres on building long-term relationships, offering regular reviews to ensure every client remains on track and fully informed at every financial stage.

Charity work and the local community:

Beyond financial services, SFS is also deeply embedded in the local community.

Last year (2024) was a standout year for Simpson Financial Services Ltd, marked by community impact, professional excellence, and team milestones.

The firm raised £2,335 for charity across four events, fed 50 vulnerable individuals during a soup kitchen takeover in Leamington Spa and celebrated five prestigious awards, including Young Achiever of the Year, Paraplanner Apprentice of the Year, and inclusion in the NMA Top 100.

Staff continued to develop professionally, earning three qualifications, passing 11 exams, and gaining specialist accreditations such as SOLLA Later Life. 

Personal highlights included one marathon run, two weddings, and one new baby, a memorable year for the SFS team!

Each year, the company also hosts a charity lawn bowls event at the Avenue Bowls Club.

Last year, this annual event brought together 10 teams in friendly competition and successfully raised £920 for Helping Hands, a local charity supporting vulnerable individuals. 

For the second consecutive year, SFS participated in the Helping Hands Soup Kitchen Takeover 2024, preparing and serving homemade meals, including chilli con carne, vegetable pasta bake, and cherry crumble, to 50 people in need. 

These initiatives showcase the team's commitment to giving back to the community in practical, heartfelt ways.
