Our Company
Commitment to Independent Advice
Hinton Associates, a division of IFPAS Ltd, is a privately owned independent practice offering financial planning advice of the highest quality.
I believe that the best financial advice is independent advice. I recommend products and services offered by leading companies in every field - without bias. My loyalties are to my clients.
Great emphasis is placed on professional competence and integrity. I am required to sit professional examinations and undergo continuous training to keep abreast of latest developments in the financial services industry.
Hinton Associates outsources its compliance and training functions to SimplyBiz. SimplyBiz is the fastest growing service provider to IFAs in the UK and now has over 2,000 member firms and 5,000 individuals across the UK, having grown to that number in just two years.
The association with SimplyBiz enables me to draw on a pool of expertise in all areas of financial planning to complement specialisms and provide clients with local, skilled and experienced advice of the highest possible standard.
You probably find, like many people, that in your business and private life you seldom find time to examine your financial affairs in depth. You become preoccupied with the day-to-day running of your lives
You may find it hard to keep the whole of your financial picture in view. Like a jigsaw puzzle, the more pieces you have, the harder it is to see where you are. From taxes to investments, from life assurance to pensions, you may currently have several advisers whom you consult on fragmented areas of your financial life.
Even when your responsibilities reduce, i.e., at retirement, the need for financial planning does not go away.
Hinton Associates is committed to providing professional and independent advice and maintain impartiality by not being backed or supported by outside institutions.
History
Terry Hinton has worked in Financial Services since 1986 and has built a successful practice through her commitment to her clients, ability to identify their needs and knowledge of the products and services available.
Her aim is to provide the best advice available at the most competitive charges. She is particularly able to achieve this through having identified, years ago, the need to reduce paper; she has run a "paperless" office since 1997 and plans to pass on this concept through providing reviews, valuations, etc. online to those clients wishing to reduce their own paperwork.
She decided to specialise in the investment and Inheritance Tax planning fields, believing this approach to be more valuable to clients than acting as a generalist and endeavouring to be all things to all clients. These specialities have enabled her to broaden her horizons to encompass offshore planning. She accordingly outsources all non-specialist areas of financial planning to associate companies who are specialists in their respective fields, i.e. mortgages, pension transfers, etc.
