For 25 years, as an employee of some of the biggest names in banking and insurance in the UK, I’d seen financial services companies move from being a valued part of the community to viewing their customers as a source of greater ‘share of wallet’, where it wasn’t important to help and protect them, simply to sell them more and more products. I found this a very frustrating place to be and was determined to offer something different to my clients. I created Otus because I am determined to give clients a genuinely personal service; a long-term relationship based on trust and understanding. My mission is to help you identify, create and maintain the lifestyle you want for you and your family; so you can get on with living your chosen life right now and never have to worry about money. Our services include everything that you would expect from great financial advisers, but we give you more: More of our time. We take you on a journey of discovery and show you how your finances can really work for you and what is possible. For you to achieve this, you need to work with people who really understand your personal goals. • The first thing we do is discover what you’d like life to look, feel and be like to be totally fulfilled. • We then look at where you are right now. • What are your plans for the future? • What keeps you awake at night? • What values are most important to you? That’s the foundation on which everything else we do for you will be built. Your interests come first and you will get face-to-face advice from a very experienced and highly qualified Financial Planner. You’ll have planning meetings so you will know that your finances are on track and everything will be presented to you in a way that’s clear and easy to understand. For the last 13 years, we have been helping successful people, like you, overcome their fear of running out of money; we have given them back control of their lives to live as they see fit; we work to ensure that our clients have peace of mind knowing that their future is sorted.
