Francis Gill

Francis and his team are great - kind, friendly, highly-capable and very patient to explain in a simple way (and multiple times) investment options and products.

Like most people when approaching retirement I was familiar with some of the facts and ignorant to others. I was also mindful of the horror stories of scams. I went for a free interview with Pension Wise and they pointed me in the direction of Unbiased. I entered details onto their secure website and they provided several options, one of which was Humboldt Financial. They were not local but the reports looked promising and I made contact with them. My first online meeting with Oliver was in October and less than four months later I have my pension and investment all sorted. It could have happened slightly quicker but I was still cautious and that will be the case for many people just starting their pension journey. All I can say is that I was extremely fortunate to be sent Humboldt's details and in getting the financial advice from Oliver has made the experience insightful and enjoyable. If the rest of Francis' staff are as knowledgeable and supportive as Oliver then he has assembled a first rate team. Thank you.

Fantastic service from Francis and the team. Wealth management, financial and tax advice is highly recommended

Extremely helpful, Francis has been able to recover over £1,000 in tax relief and Humboldt laid out all the steps along the way. Waiting on HMRC to get back was the frustrating part but when I needed Humboldt to amend my letter they did so instantly. Very clear and transparent with fantastic advice both for what you have with them and what you may hold yourself.

I've been working with Francis from Humboldt Financial for a number of years and have found him to be proactive, reliable and insightful when it comes to my financial planning. Together we have discussed pension, savings and investment options and, despite some challenging market conditions at times, I have found the advice and recommendations Francis provided to be very good. Francis does a great job of providing market updates and, unlike other advisors I've worked with, he is able to clearly explain the rationale for selecting one course of action over another. My working relationship with Francis has developed over time from one when he was very much guiding me to one where we can now have an open and informed decision about my finances. Francis has been an excellent advisor in both scenarios and has flexed his style as my knowledge around investments developed. I would highly recommend Francis as a financial advisor as he's not put a foot wrong when it comes to my financial planning.

After spending several years roller coasting through multiple startups and big tech corp, my finances were all over the place (different pension schemas, share with different providers ...). I asked a C-Level from a successful startup for advice on how to get my financials right and they recommended Francis Hill and his team at Humboldt Financial. Best decision ever. From day-1, Francis took care to understand my needs and assets and carefully traced a plan for my family's future. He gets my input and cares on explaining financial situations, and the decisions they made towards facing complex market times. With him and his team, I have a direct connection that is not just our regular reviews, but a person that I can consult and I feel that truly worries for my success.

Over the last couple of years, I have referred multiple accounts over with Humboldt and it has been clear to see that they have always been very well looked after and cared for! Definitely would recommend Francis and Humboldt if you are looking for a friendly, modern firm of financial planners!

These guys are brilliant. Extremely knowledgable and happy to help. Took the time to listen to what I needed and found me some great solutions. Very appreciative to Francis and his team, will be getting many referrals from me! Their office was also very cool, such a nice and welcoming vibe. 10/10!

Very helpful, speedy and no fuss advice from Joe and Francis.

Francis has been fantastic since day one. He has been proactive with my investments. He always takes time to reach out to me. The team are very efficient and knowledgeable. I really like Humboldt and would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.
