Reid Independent Financial Advisers

about us

Who are we?

Reid Independent Financial Advisers is a trading name for Reid & Co Financial Services Ltd. We are regulated by the Financial Services Authority and are committed to staying “Independent” so we may offer clients a totally unbiased and professional service.

Formed in 1992 to provide financial services solutions for a long established accountancy practice. It has grown from strength to strength since this time offering services to a wide client base. It is now a separate entity following a management buyout. All the staff have purchased shares in the business and we believe this demonstrates the commitment and dedication of the team to provide a professional and first class service to our clients.

In 2005 we moved to Shenley Pavilions as part of our expansion plan to further develop the business.
