Excellent Service
Will has been our independent financial adviser for over five years. During this time, he has provided an annual visit to review our investments and to discuss our goals for the future in a very friendly and knowledgeable manner. He arranges transfers of any funds, always keeping us well informed and always answering any questions promptly. The platform used to track investments is very user friendly and thus you can check the value of your funds at any time. We would not hesitate in recommending Will’s services to anyone requiring impartial financial advice.

5 Star Service Given
Last year we sought your services to advise us on planning for our financial security for the future and in retirement. Since that time we have had several meetings/conversations with you which have served a number of purposes including our retirement expectations. This was achieved in a very professional manner, while at the same time putting us totally at ease. You make us feel like we are the most important people you will see or speak to that day, and the astute advice you have provided will no doubt lead to significant savings and future growth. You are always happy and engaging, but at the same time, we are never in doubt of your professional acumen. You always explain everything thoroughly and you strive to go above and beyond to ensure we are fully looked after and I never feel uncomfortable asking questions whatever the time of day. We look forward in continuing this relationship for the future and many thanks.

DB Transfer
I had an old defined benefit pension plan which I asked Will to have a look at for me. He was very thorough with his research providing me with various scenarios and explaining everything in a clear and concise way that I could understand. He kept me up to date with phone calls and emails and the transfer was completed with no problems. Will is very professional and knowledgeable and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Excellent Service
I spent time scouting around looking for a financial adviser to help with both my wife and mine, varied pension ports. Not many could provide a one stop shop in terms of the qualifications to manage the various aspects of pensions. Will though could and did, along his supporting team at abacus they provided exemplary service in terms of the process, explaining options, costs, providing progress and delivering solutions that suited our needs . Many thanks

Unlocking Pension Funds
Will is a first class professional. Visited us in our home and listened carefully to exactly what we wanted to do. He then prepared very comprehensive reports detailing the affect several different options would have financially. He was able to eventually free up funds from a frozen and useless pension and transfer remaining funds into an account we have full control over. We are delighted with Will, his advice and his professionalism. Very clever man, very friendly and very effective. He knows his onions. Five stars for outstanding service.

Excellent Service
Will is a really friendly guy who makes you feel at ease straight away. Excellent service from the first meeting to final the pension decision. There was a number of pension schemes to sort out and everything was explained clearly as we went along. Gladly recommend Will to family and friends and he keeps you well informed of what is happening between meetings.

Great service
Will has been more than helpful over the years we have used his services. He sorted out all our pensions to find the best deals and reduce the amount of incurred costs. We also think he has a great personality and almost makes sorting out finances a joy.

Fantastic! Professional Service from a Friendly and Patient Adviser
My husband first received advice from Will well before he became self-employed and was so impressed that he had no hesitation supporting him in his new venture: that is testament in itself!! I too sought his advice and have continued to do so since the loss of my husband eighteen months ago. He has organised our pensions, investments, wills, power of attorney and provided first class advice throughout: nothing is too much trouble and he is always available. As far as I’m concerned, Will is worth his weight in gold; I don’t know what I would have done without his continued financial advice and support. THANK YOU!!!!!
A trusted adviser which I’m very happy to recommend
I met Will as I was leaving my corporate life to start my own business, but wanted to ensure that my family maintained the long term security they were already enjoying. Will quickly ensured that an appropriate level of cover was instigated; once this was in place, he took the time to get to know what our long-term family aspirations and time-scales were and then offered us some great options – the main one being something I wasn’t even aware was available to me, giving a great degree of flexibility, has been tax efficient proved robust protection when the FTSE took a downward hit in the latter half of 2018. At our last review when my wife wanted to boost her future pension benefits via AVC’s, Will happily helped her with a financial plan, but advised us that her existing AVC provider was the best vehicle to do this, despite this obviously offering him no personal commission – this offers a great example of Will’s commitment to his customers’ interests.
Sound advice with a friendly face
Will has always given us good advice through this our investments have grown. He is always ready to come up with new ideas and it is always your decision as to what to do with your savings. He always puts your mind at rest with good advice. He has taken a lot of stress off us with his actions and friendly face.

Pensions
Got in touch with Will via Yell . He has been very good, he’s been clear and explained everything clearly through every step of the procedure. Will has consolidated my 3 pensions into one flexible plan. He has come to my home and made it easy for me to see what he has advised with clear printed projections. I would highly recommend Mr Will Ward to handle your financial needs.
