Philip James Financial Services

BY AN ADVISER, FOR ADVISERS

If you’re a financial adviser, you’re very welcome to come along to our next event.

Sharing ideas, sharing knowledge

I organise meetings for other advisers, ‘By and Adviser, For Advisers’, three or four times a year, at Witney Lakes Resort, not far from our offices in Burford.

As advisers, we rarely find ourselves in competition and can help both one another and our clients by sharing ideas, discussing common concerns and what’s going on both in our profession and the wider financial services industry.

Join us

If you’re a financial adviser, you’re very welcome to come along to our next event. ‘By an adviser, for advisers’ is growing in popularity and we have around 30 regular attendees, some of whom travel from Wales, Dorset, Hereford and Birmingham to attend.

The most popular part is the hour or so we spend we spend discussing our many areas of common interest, from fee levels to client management to provider choices…

What is it?

The meetings are free to advisers and sponsored by carefully selected presenting providers, which means that those who come along will qualify for  two hours Continuing Professional Development on a variety of subjects.

I have no financial interest in this, other than by finding out what the heck everyone else is doing, getting the CPD I want and breaking the isolation which running one’s own business can often engender.
