Personalised Financial Support

Sarah was brilliant and went the extra mile to help me understand how I could get on top of my finances, something. She made something that I usually feel quite overwhelmed by feel manageable. Reviewed on: 9th January 2022

Highly tailored and useful session!

5
Mike was brilliant, checking in with me before our session to see what my goals were and helping me figure out what to prioritise to begin with. He really took on board my individual circumstances and tailored his coaching accordingly. As well as offering information on budgeting tools and working out what debts to repay in what order, he was very encouraging and reassured me I already had some good methods going on, which was really motivating. My financial circumstances changed within days of our session due to landing a new job so I haven't yet put into place everything we discussed, but I definitely feel like I have a really stable foundation upon which to now build and much more confidence to do so. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a coaching session to others! Reviewed on: 14th December 2021

Really insightful and friendly session - Sarah B was a dream to work with. Money talks are notoriously uncomfortable (although I think this is a norm that needs to be dismantled), but my session with Sarah gave me the tools and confidence I need to smash my goals. Forever grateful! Reviewed on: 6th December 2021

Must try service

I spoke to Sarah yesterday and despite me feeling like I have a fairly sound financial plan, she helped me identify some key milestones in the coming years and the financial implications of those milestones that I had not even thought of. I used this service to just see what it would be like and got real value out of it so I couldn't fault any of it. Final massive thanks to Sarah who I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Nerves calmed and plans made

5
Sarah was very patient and calm listening to my ramblings; I had no idea if I have been on the right track with my new-found plan to organise my finances, so i just unloaded everything i had learnt from conflicting Youtube videos and word-of-mouth. She had clearly seen this before. So, Sarah squashed my panic about and debt and helped me lay out the all important goals and pragmatic steps to get to them. It seems so simple now, moving forward I would like to have regular coaching sessions, both to ask the burning questions the internet confuses me on and also to hold myself accountable to the actions I said I'd take. 10/10 - Would recommend! Thanks. Reviewed on: 15th November 2021

10/10

Brilliant app, very easy to use and offers a range of easy-to-understand financial guides and investment products. That said, the standout point for me is the availability of a free financial consultation session with Mike B., in which I had a chance to discuss my immediate financial goals and undertake a “health check” of my finances. Mike was very helpful, provided detailed guidance in relation to my specific queries (which I’d sent prior to the sessions), and promptly followed up after the session with an email containing various useful links related to the topics we discussed. Tl:dr - a great app for millennials, 10/10 (and I’ve already recommended this to a few friends) Reviewed on: 5th November 2021

Very clear and easy to use. Linked bank accounts for a wholistic overview. However, there can be a slight delay in updating current balances. I had a great coaching session with Mike who provided good practical freely available on the web resources to aid with financial goal.
