Apr 08,2024Not a great experience all in all. We spoke to Dan and he was pleasant enough. However the level of analysis they can do before you have to pay large sums is very superficial. Essentially they want you to put money into their investment vehicle. This all makes sense but doesn't really fit with the narrative on their site. Edited and downgraded to 1-star. Follow-up comments not representative of interaction. - I gave them loads of my own personal information and received zero analysis (let alone deep analysis) - They did want me to invest with them - so not sure what he means by his comments - Not true that they make everything clear in first session at least for me - They did offer me a follow-on but after months and by then it felt pretty pointless

Mar 11,2024Really impressed by the high level of support provided by the Nova Team, including James Butler, Ben Kehoe and the many others working behind the scenes to bring a detailed understanding of my financial provisions and investment strategies. They are always willing to help and do their upmost to deliver. Really looking forward to many more years working together.

Mar 05,2024Ben Kehoe was my husband and I’s hero when it came to buying our first home. We had no clue what we were doing, but Ben helped us and held out hand throughout the entire experience. He made himself available at a moment’s notice. Both Ben and his colleague Kerri Gibbons were amazing. 10/10 would recommend and go to him again.

Mar 04,2024Ben Kehoe, absolute hero. Really thankful that we was paired with such an experienced mortgage advisor in our first house purchase! Ben made himself available whenever he could, answered all of our (what might seem) menial questions. Would 100% recommend these services.

Feb 16,2024We’ve been working with Dan Burrows at Nova Wealth Management for just over a year now. Dan’s knowledge, patience and understanding is a credit to him and to Nova. When we started working with Dan, we were really out of touch with what it takes to plan financially for the future. That’s all changed, we feel much more confident thinking about future plans and later retirement. This is the kind of peace of mind many should invest the time in realising.

Feb 04,2024I've been with NOVA Wealth (Octupus prior) for nearly two years and its refreshing to have a Financial Planner, Joe Checkley who understands you and your goals. The Projections he provides for our retirement are an eye opener. You'd be suprise how much sooner you could retire. For me, its having that personal touch with Joe that sets NOVA apart from the competition. When NOVA are managing a large chunk of your wealth you want reassurance and guidance, I get this with Joe.

Jan 13,2024Chris has been really communicative and helpful in helping my husband and I plan our financial future. Our regular online meetings are full of informative facts and advice, we have regular email communication and most of all, he is a good person that we feel we can trust and feel very comfortable working with. I highly recommend NOVA Wealth!

Jan 11,2024I originally approached Nova Wealth as I worked in an environment where redundancies were a high possibility and I wanted to know if I could survive, if I were to drop out of employment completely, with my portfolio as is. I also wanted to look to see if there was more, I needed to do for the future looking to ensure a comfortable retirement in my old age. James talked me through the options, providing clear direction where I was carrying too much risk and how to address this. James also described a view of a potential future that I hoped I could achieve, but did not in reality think I could attain. The entire process was clear and easy to follow. The team supporting James were brilliant too, providing swift response and ongoing progress updates. The outcome from the review has given me confidence that if made redundant, I would be fine and could stop working completely. However, the rest of the advice has potentially changed the trajectory of the rest of my life. I could, if I so desire, wind down and stop working, taking early retirement, in my early 50s. In fact, James recommended that I could draw down more than I initially thought, enabling me to live a more comfortable life in my old age. Knowing this is a huge relief for me. More importantly, it has given me the option where I can live a life doing the things I would like to do, that I currently cannot do due to work commitments. Engaging in this process genuinely has had a positive impact on the rest of my life. I cannot thank James and the team enough.

Nov 15,2023I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Joe, a wealth manager at Nova, regarding my financial portfolio and numerous pensions. From our very first interaction, Joe distinguished himself with his patience and clarity, thoroughly explaining every aspect of the process and approach. He conducted a diligent and comprehensive review of my pensions, demonstrating not only his expertise but also a genuine concern for my financial well-being. Most impressively, Joe’s integrity shone through when he advised me against transferring my pensions, highlighting that I would lose significant benefits due to their age. His honesty in recommending that I stay with my current plan, despite this meaning no business for him, was both refreshing and reassuring. He also provided valuable pointers to help me manage my finances better. What I’ll miss most are our regular chats, where Joe’s insights and friendly demeanor made discussing finance both informative and enjoyable. His professional advice, underpinned by a strong ethical compass, has earned my deepest respect and gratitude. Thank you, Joe, for your exceptional service and integrity.

Sep 07,2023Nova has enabled me to fully understand my overall position, pull together disparate investments, and be able to more effectively plan whilst laying it all out clearly in models, and taking time to explain everything in detail. Simon Cahill, Amy and their team have been exemplary in their work providing detail and overall clarity. Would highly recommend.
