About Skyblue Financial Planners

The Team of Financial Planning Advisers at Skyblue Financial Planners, Oxford Road, Reading, Berkshire

At Skyblue Financial Planners we take a fresh approach to financial planning in the UK. You may have heard of Independent Financial Advisers and perhaps have even consulted one in the past. But while we are able to provide the full range of services you would expect from Independent Financial Advisers, we prefer to think of ourselves a little differently.

Put simply, advice just isn't enough. The only way to feel confident about your future finances is to have a clear and realistic picture of what your income, savings and investments can do for you in the coming years. To achieve your aims, whether it be owning your own home, protecting your family and your property, or planning your retirement, you need a plan.

Skyblue Financial Planners will help you take control of your finances and get where you want to be. Our financial planning consultations will give you the insight you need to make those life-changing decisions. Once your plan is in place, you can choose to manage your own investments, or leave it to us, safe in the knowledge that you have more than just a financial adviser, you have a personal financial planner.

What is Skyblue Financial Planners?

At Skyblue Financial Planners you can talk to a qualified Independent Financial Adviser based in Central Reading just a few minutes' walk from the town centre and round the corner from Reading West Railway Station.

One of our advisers can offer you expert guidance in any aspect of financial planning, including:

  • Wealth Management
  • Mortgage Advice
  • Pensions and Retirement Plans
  • Inheritance Tax Planning*
  • Investments

Skyblue Financial Planners Reading can advise on anything to help protect and grow your hard-earned savings for your future and for the future of your family.
