Financial advice helps people feel more in control of their future and achieve their goals. Yet, knowing where to seek professional advice you can rely on can be difficult. That’s why being named one of VouchedFor’s Top Rated advice firms is an honour.
Today, VouchedFor’s 2025 Top Rated guide to financial advisers is distributed in The Times and celebrates the best financial advice firms in the UK. It’s an invaluable tool for those who could benefit from financial advice but aren’t sure where to start. As the ratings are based on client reviews, readers can feel confident they’re contacting a trusted professional who will support their aspirations.
We’re thrilled to be included in the Top Rated guide for the third time.
Of the roughly 6,000 authorised advice firms in the UK, just 117 are included in the guide, marking us as one of the best in the sector. In fact, we’re still Hitchin’s only Top Rated financial planning firm.
Our inclusion is a testament to the hard work of the whole Smith & Wardle team and their commitment to supporting our clients.
Not only have we qualified as a Top Rated firm, our advisers were recognised too. Jon, Simon, Katharine, Zahaan and Christian made the cut thanks to their hard work and exceptional client reviews.
