Advice led by service, not by products.
We have always worked on the basis of offering independent financial advice to our clients in a professional manner akin to that which would be expected from a professional firm of accountants or solicitors.
RBS Associates, on how the firm works
Our business was established in 1993 by Alan Richardson, Paul Belcher and Mark Spurling as Partners. The name of the firm was derived from the first initial of each of the Partners’ surnames.
We were determined to build our business based on a service led proposition in order to differentiate ourselves from those firms that focus on the sale of products.

Read moreCash flow modelling puts numbers on your goals.
Wherever possible, we aim to use ‘Cash Flow Modelling’ with our clients which helps us to identify what their assets might be able to provide in the future and perhaps how their liabilities impact upon their goals.
- ‘What If?’The beauty of the modelling is that it allows us to create ‘What If?’ scenarios to see how making simple changes might affect the long-term position.
- Every reviewWhen incorporated into ongoing reviews, it also helps us to easily see how the situation changes from year to year.
