Built on independence, driven by results

We started Keen Haven because financial advice in Manchester felt broken. Too much sales, too little clarity.

Financial advisor team

How we work

Most financial advisors earn commissions on the products they recommend. We don't. Our business model is simple: you pay for advice, and we give you our honest opinion.

That means we're free to recommend whatever actually suits you, whether it's a pension, an ISA, a different investment platform, or simply keeping cash reserves.

Team collaboration

Who we help

Our typical clients are professionals, business owners, and families in Manchester who've accumulated wealth but aren't sure what to do with it.

They usually earn well, have some savings, and want to make smarter decisions without wading through financial jargon or being sold products they don't need.

Our approach to planning

Financial planning isn't complicated if you strip away the noise. We focus on four core areas:

  • Understanding your situation — income, expenses, assets, debts, and goals.
  • Building a strategy — what needs to happen and when.
  • Implementing efficiently — setting up accounts, transfers, and structures.
  • Reviewing regularly — making sure the plan adapts as life changes.
Financial analysis

Why Manchester

We've been based in Manchester for over a decade. We know the local economy, understand the specific challenges professionals face here, and work with many of the city's legal and accounting firms.

Being local means we're available for in-person meetings, understand regional tax considerations, and invest in this community.

What drives us

Transparency

You'll always know what you're paying and why. No hidden fees, no complicated commission structures.

Independence

We don't sell products or earn kickbacks. Our only obligation is to you.

Clarity

Financial planning should be understandable. We explain everything in plain language.

Long-term focus

We're not interested in quick wins. We build strategies that work over decades.

How we charge

We charge fixed fees for specific services. No percentage of assets under management. No commissions. No ongoing fees unless you choose a retainer.

This keeps our incentives aligned with yours. We succeed when you get good advice, not when you buy a particular product.
