About TFAS
The Financial Advice Service (TFAS) was founded by highly experienced individuals with different yet complementary backgrounds who share the same beliefs and values about the business of delivering financial advice. We chose to work together so that we could bring that business vision to life and deliver an excellent service to our customers while saving them money on the cost of advice.
TFAS is a fully regulated financial advice firm just like a traditional financial advice firm, but instead of meeting face-to-face, we meet our customers by telephone. Because of this we can help people wherever they live, and we can do so at a lower cost than traditional face-to-face advice. We see our service as complementary to traditional advice firms and we represent a new choice for customers who wish to deal with their financial planning needs more cost-effectively by phone.
Integrity, openness and a genuine concern for the long-term wellbeing of our customers lies at the heart of everything we do. We believe in offering sound financial advice to each and every individual. We believe in transparency on costs before any commitment is made. And after our advice is given, we will continue to be here to look after our customers, their families and their friends in future. These are the beliefs that brought us together as a team. These are the values that everyone in our business upholds.
