    Richard drew up a new will for me after I lost my partner. He dealt with the whole thing quickly and efficiently without causing me any problems or worries. Thank you

    A complete expert. Nothing is too much trouble and he has sorted out my divorce by advising my solicitor to ensure I had a brilliant deal enabling me to be financially independent and secure my future. I have used him to challenge state pension underpayment and ensuring I have a good savings rate.

    Richard and the Financial Zone are the go to for anything related to finance. Pensions, mortgages, home care planning, estate planning and will planning. With over 35 years in the business there is no one better than these people. I could only recommend Richard Smith or The Finance Zone as the best you can get. A great guy with great knowledge, totally reliable and professional.
