About AD Financial Services

We’ve been around for 25 years!

At AD Financial Services, we believe good financial planning isn’t just for the wealthy – it’s for anyone who wants to take control of their future. We help people make smart financial decisions that protect their family, build their wealth, and give them peace of mind.

With decades of experience behind us, we know that life can be unpredictable. That’s why we focus on building long-term relationships, giving straightforward advice, and creating practical financial plans that work in the real world.

We’re not tied to any bank or product provider, which means the advice you get is completely independent and tailored to you. Whether you’re saving for retirement, looking to invest, protecting your loved ones, or planning ahead for care or inheritance, we’re here to guide you with clarity and confidence.

You’ll always know what you’re paying for – no jargon, no hidden fees, and no pressure. Just honest advice from a team that puts your interests first.

We’re proud to work closely with Equity & General, one of the UK’s most trusted names in financial planning. Together, we offer a joined-up approach that covers every part of your financial life.

If you’re ready to make a plan – or want a second opinion on the one you’ve got – we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s start a conversation about your future. →

Our Team

Under rules set by our industry regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), all financial advisers must be qualified to at least ‘Level 4’. That’s broadly equivalent to the first year of a degree and covers topics including personal tax, pensions and retirement planning and investment principles and risk.

There are also Masters and PhD equivalents above that, and specific qualifications for areas such as mortgages, and pension transfers.

All our advisers are trained to the required level, and subject to ongoing and annual training requirements.

Feel free to ask your adviser about the qualifications they hold.

Our Mission

One of the most valuable things we can do for you is to draw out a clearer vision of your financial future. We can help you understand what options you have around longer- term issues, such as retirement, estate planning and looking after your family.

If you have an obvious and immediate need, we can also help you to meet this, in the form of a financial product.

Here’s what we can help with…
