I have found Darren Goodall of Informed Financial Planning to be a very good financial adviser. He asks a lot of questions and really listens to your plans about life going forward. He not only advises how best to structure your finances to achieve those plans but also challenges ideas you may have for better ways of achieving your goals.

I have recently worked with Darren to consolidate my pension arrangements having ignored them many years. He and his team were both professional and friendly and explained everything clearly including any costs associated with my options. I would definitely recommend Darren and IFP to anyone.

Fantastic financial advisors. Looking after my pension for me for the last few years and feels like it is in very good hands.

Reply from Informed Financial Planning - Barnsley
When obtaining advice in relation to finance you need to have confidence in the people you deal with. My experience of dealing with IFP is one of straight talking advice that I feel confident about. They are thorough and professional but deal with the facts for you to decide. If you want to be pampered go to a spa.

I've received good financial advice on matters of interest to me and received particular good help at the beginning of my pension transfer as i had left it late

Darren has always been knowledgeable and attentive. He is definitely one of my trusted advisors. I like to bounce ideas off him and I know he will advise, as though it was his family he was advising. He always looks at the bigger picture for me and my family. Thank you for the many years of guidance Darren

Darren is always helpful and knows his business well but always speaks at a level that he knows we’re happy with. Nevertheless if we don’t understand anything he is always anxious to clarify until we have a full grasp of the situation. He always seems to know what we are looking to do next and that comes from him working with us for a good number of years.

Despite Covid regs, our ongoing relationship with Darren continues to give us a great customer experience. His easy going, yet professional manner is reassuring and expert, but above all enjoyable and makes us feel extremely confident in our choice of provider.

I contacted Informed Financial Planning for advice regarding investment of my pension on retirement from full time working. The proposal produced for me by one of their senior financial advisors was clearly explained to me, including any fees for administration of my investments. Since then, any queries I may have had have been answered promptly and professionally. I have no hesitation in recommending Informed Financial Planning for retirement planning.

IFP provide a bespoke, holistic, friendly and professional approach to the complex world of pensions, investments etc. A transparent, honest, informed and non-sales driven approach is both refreshing and appreciated. They are a quality outfit with a great approach to sensitive and challenging matters. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services and expertise.

I am writing to express my thanks for recent work undertaken on my behalf in transferring funds from a very difficult company to my account in Informed Financial Planning. I am grateful for all the work done to achieve this goal through my financial planner Darren Goodall but especially his PA Anita Gardham who ground through many long phone calls to execute this work on my behalf. I am writing this to recommend a service which I felt went the extra mile to achieve its goal.
