Up until recently I always sorted out my own finances. But then I realised that matters were getting out of hand.

Karen has put that all right – even saved me some tax! I still have a spread of investments but these are now organised and easier to follow.
As far as finances go, Karen thinks logically, and with much knowledge. She explains clearly what she recommends and why, taking my own personality and requirements into consideration.
