About Markham Associates, independent financial advisers...

Markham Associates was founded in 1990 and today is still a family partnership of independent financial advisers with links to the UKs leading financial services providers, but totally independent of them. We are not owned, employed or influenced by any company.

Over 20 years of financial advice

Our expertise in giving financial advice goes back to 1985, long before the internet began to flourish. At that time like today, our main focus was giving tailored advice to individual and companies.

Since then, we have worked with many people from most walks of life. Each client has received the same personal attention and committment to advice that produces genuine savings in time and money whilst supporting future growth and financial security.

How we are paid

We are usually paid for our advice by either charging a fee agreed with you in advance, by commission paid by any financial providers we recommend after a thorough analysis of your requirements or a combination of the two.

After we’ve established if any particular solution is right for you, and you’ve decided to go ahead with our advice, on most occasions we’re paid directly by whichever financial services company provides the best product for you out of their normal charges.

Depending upon your circumstances and how much work is involved, we may charge a fee but you can be sure that this will be discussed with you before you choose to take our advice. Any initial meeting or discussion is completely free of charge and there’s never any obligation to take things further. You’re in control at all times and you’ll always know exactly how much our advice will cost.

Qualified & experienced staff

All staff at Markham Associates are qualified to at least FPC (Financial Planning Certificate) level. In addition to this, we have expertise in specialist areas such as pension planning and tax avoidance, so you can be certain you are always dealing with qualified and knowledgable staff.
