WPS Advisory was set up to offer clients straightforward and affordable financial advice by unravelling jargon and presenting plain and simple choices about managing life cover, savings and investments.
Much of the new client sign-up and initial discussions are carried out remotely with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, in common with other financial advisory firms.
The difference between WPS Advisory and other independent financial advisers is that the firm makes no secret about making complicated financial jargon easier to understand.
The promise is advisers will give clients the time, explanations and space they need to make sensible financial decisions from the impartial advice they receive.

How WPS Advisory works
WPS Advisory runs an online registration scheme for new clients that takes them through benchmarking their current financial status.
Signing up generates a client information pack and a personal username and passcode needed to complete an online fact-find.
The fact-find collects personal and financial data that goes through income, spending, savings, and debts and sets financial goals.
The firm tailors a bespoke financial plan for every client for discussion with an independent financial adviser.
The factfind and IFA discussions trigger a recommendation report which lays out in detail the products and services along the way to reaching the client’s financial goals.
What the firm says
“Our process is designed around you,” says the WPS Advisory web site.
“We’ll help you to make informed decisions about your future. But first, we need to know what you want your future to look like”
“Then, we’ll look at where you are now and build a plan together that you’re happy with.”
