We are Independent Chartered Financial Advisers

Specialist advice for individuals, trustees & deputies

We believe it is important that as Independent advisers, we only have an interest in recommending the highest independently rated, funds available in the global market. Many firms recommend funds that are part of their same group of companies or make money from their own discretionary fund manager. Us being completely independent ensures that we put your needs ahead of ours.

What We do

Cashflow analysis takes a detailed forecast look at your financial life going forward, factoring in income, expenditure and expected life events. It can be especially helpful in assessing the financial impact of decisions you are looking at today.

We work with you to ensure your money will last throughout life and provide guidance on options to ease your financial administration, to be more tax efficient, increase income or growth and ensuring you are accessing any entitlement to funding or benefits you may be unaware of.

Many ESG portfolio’s are too narrowly diversified and a ‘greenium’ is applied unnecessarily, we are able to avoid higher charges, risk tracking and offer you wider diversification with lower costs which means more money in your pocket, not ‘theirs’.

According to ‘entitledto’, their 2022 annual review suggests about £15 billion of benefits remain unclaimed each year, at PFC, we want to ensure we can help fill that gap for you.

    COP Partner at Large law firm

  • “I have worked with Steve for over 10 years. He is approachable, knowledgeable and inspires confidence, especially in family members of those lacking capacity concerned about ensuring funds can last for their loved one’s needs for life. Whilst good advice should be a ‘given’ from any professional, the personable way he engages with people and puts them at ease, and his willingness to discuss matters of interest and importance to the client makes them feel at ease and provides great support and insight as a professional deputy.”

    Testimonial about Stephen Farnfield

    Partner of law firm

  • When we were awarded a substantial compensation payment, our first action was to find a financial advisor to help make some big decisions. It wasn’t difficult to find well qualified and eager advisors. Stephen Farnfield had an extra quality however. He seemed to understand what this money meant to us as a family.

    Stephen is an excellent communicator. He knows his business and we trust his judgement. I have no hesitation in recommending Stephen Farnfield and Paladin.
