Independent Financial Advisers

Westerby the Wealth Advisers is a firm of Independent Financial Advisers authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Established in 1987 and based in Leicester city centre, Westerby offers specialist financial, taxation and independent investment advice for both individual clients and businesses, in the UK and internationally.

Integrity, Independence & Service

If you are seeking independent financial advice, you want qualified, professional and impartial expertise that looks at your individual and specific circumstances and needs.

  • We identify any gaps or areas of concern that need to be addressed.

3. Assess

  • Based on our discovery phase, we assess your overall risk tolerance and make recommendations that align with your financial goals.

4. Plan

  • We work with you to develop a customised financial plan that addresses your unique goals, needs, and risk tolerance.
  • Our team of experts uses their extensive knowledge to develop a comprehensive plan that puts you on the path towards financial success.
