We started Keen Haven because financial advice in Manchester felt broken. Too much sales, too little clarity.
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.
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.
Financial planning isn't complicated if you strip away the noise. We focus on four core areas:
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.
You'll always know what you're paying and why. No hidden fees, no complicated commission structures.
We don't sell products or earn kickbacks. Our only obligation is to you.
Financial planning should be understandable. We explain everything in plain language.
We're not interested in quick wins. We build strategies that work over decades.
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.
