Partner, Banking & Finance

“Capstone have supported both me and my husband with our pensions, ISAs and business protection, including life and critical illness cover. They’ve helped us take a more structured approach to managing both personal and business finances.

After feeling a bit overlooked by my previous financial advisers, working with Capstone has been a very different experience. Andrew is professional, approachable and easy to speak to, and I feel confident trusting him to manage my investments and financial planning.

When you’re dealing with significant financial decisions, trust is incredibly important. Capstone feel like a safe pair of hands, and it’s reassuring to know my finances are being looked after while I focus on running my business.”

Gareth Malna

Partner, Financial Services & FinTech

“When I joined gunnercooke it was the first time I’d been responsible for managing my own business finances, so there was a lot to understand. The model is very different from being employed, and I needed guidance on everything, from managing income to planning my finances properly.

Capstone helped me look at the bigger picture - from how to take money out tax efficiently, to putting the right protection in place such as life cover and insurance that I previously had. They also helped me look at my finances holistically, including pensions and long-term planning.

Gary has been very knowledgeable and responsive, and it’s been helpful having someone who understands the gunnercooke model. We’ve been able to review things as circumstances change and make sure the plans we have in place still make sense.”

Antonia Brandes

Partner, Commercial Real Estate

“I was introduced to Capstone when I joined my firm eight years ago and have been delighted with the support and advice ever since. I am a perfect example of the ‘cobbler’s children’ – always too busy to focus on my own affairs and, if I’m honest, somewhat cautious about spending or using money. So it was a great relief to appoint Capstone to take care of my finances and long-term planning, which they have done with understanding and skill. They took the time to understand my goals and carefully got me there without frightening the horses. There’s never any hint of condescension when I ask basic questions – just patience and clarity. More recently, they helped me structure something more complex, providing clear, practical advice to achieve it in a tax-efficient way. The team are professional, knowledgeable and supportive – I feel in very safe hands.”

Duncan Ward

Partner, Commercial Real Estate

“I’ve been working with Capstone since joining gunnercooke around seven years ago, initially to review and improve my pension arrangements. The advice I received was a clear step up from my previous adviser, and this relationship has continued to add real value over time.

As I’ve approached retirement, the focus has shifted to how best to draw income in a tax-efficient way. The guidance has been both practical and proactive – helping me implement strategies I simply wasn’t aware of previously.

What stands out is that the advice is clear, considered and genuinely tailored. My adviser is engaged, accessible and willing to give straightforward recommendations. It’s been a flexible, ongoing relationship that has worked extremely well. I feel supported and it is comforting to know that not only is my financial position kept under review but there is advice immediately available whenever my circumstances change.”

David Merson

Partner, Commercial Real Estate

"I was introduced to Capstone at a new joiner event in London, where a brief conversation quickly uncovered a significant issue with my existing financial arrangements as a dual US-UK citizen. It became clear that I had previously received poor advice, and that discussion helped me avoid what could have become a much bigger problem over time.

What immediately stood out was their understanding of how gunnercooke operates. That experience led me to move across from my previous adviser, and since then they have since supported both me and my wife with our ongoing financial planning.

Their service continues to be excellent – clear, proactive, and reliable. I feel reassured knowing that the advice we receive is both informed and trustworthy."

"I met with Janine to discuss starting a pension and she was incredibly helpful. As someone who is self employed and has very little clue when it comes to pensions, she gave me the best advice and helped me understand how to set up my future self."

Julie Royce

"I have been a client of Capstone Financial for the past 2 years receiving pension advice for myself and more recently, my husband and daughter have also become clients. They take the time to explain things clearly and to go over the information at the right level for us. I would recommend them for any financial advice as they make it accessible and understandable."

Shirley Evans

"I was recommended to see Debbie Newman about my pensions which I have been putting off sorting for years, feeling overwhelmed with what I had, all my options and if I would have enough to even retire. Debbie didn’t disappoint, making what I thought was complicated, understandable and less daunting. She spent time to really get to know me and my future goals, she was friendly and very knowledgeable. I now feel confident with the plan we have put together and wish I had met her much sooner. I would definitely recommend Debbie and Capstone Financial for anyone looking for financial advice."

Helen Davidson

"It’s the personal face to face service that has brought me to Capstone. What I needed was personal advice and financial management, in lay language from my own designated adviser and that is what I am getting. My adviser is easy to speak to directly and every query is effectively dealt within a timely manner. Thank you very much."

Professor Jeremy Wilson PhD, FRCS, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon, WUTH NHS Foundation Trust

Wirral & Spire Murrayfield Hospital, Wirral.

"I have used Capstone Financial for over five years. As a surgeon, with very little free time, they have provided excellent support and advice. My previous financial adviser couldn’t provide the detailed support I needed to understand the complexities of my NHS pension, and this caused me several issues. With the Capstone medical team, I have been able to address my concerns on annual allowance tax charges and do the correct planning required. They also helped check my NHS Pension record and a number of errors were corrected with significant financial benefit. Working with my adviser I have been able to plan for my retirement so I know when I will be able to retire and with what income. I also moved my private pension to them with far greater returns."
