Gareth was very detailed and he understands products very well. He was very good with sharing numbers/projections via Zoom video call and had clear answers for almost everything. Gareth was also very flexible with the timings providing advise on Saturday mornings and sometimes also in the nights. Gareth was extremely patient, as it took about 3 long video calls, each at-least an hour long for me to process everything and be thorough before choosing what I wanted. I am very happy to have gone with Finsol for my life insurance.read more

This firm stands out from the rest.Where soo many try to sell you something & forget about you this firm listens, it hears what you need, what you are trying to achieve & builds a set of recommendations based on that.In our drive for quick solutions sometimes things get lost. Tangible things like sharing information, giving proper advice & following up your understanding of that advice (these are not common place anymore).If you want to talk to someone that believes in what they are doing, if you want to be heard, if you want to feel certain that someone is going to go in & bat for you & work to get you the outcome you desire give these people a call.You wont be disappointed.
