Simply fantastic. I am a newly turned consultant gastroenterologist who moved over to NZ a year ago but have continued to listen to these podcasts. Still really useful in sorting out finances back home. Particularly enjoyed the podcast on investment books to read. Keep it coming please!

Massive thank you to Tommy and Ed for all that they do to help empower their fellow medics, especially those like myself who just wouldn't have had a clue where to start to sort out their finances. I found the podcasts a great first step to give me ideas for things that I could then later look at more closely - and how amazing that the team have put together so many resources that then make these subsequent steps way easier! I can't recommend Medics Money highly enough :-)

Without a doubt the best advice I have been given. I was really pleased with the service and recommend to all. Tommy was really approachable and took the time to guide me. This was something I should have done years ago. Thanks again. Paul Coulter

Aimed at medics, they offer sensible advice relating to issues medics face. Even a complete novice like me understood the financial principles, thanks to their presentations which are easy to understand. Best of all, they have podcasts which I can listen to on my walks.I think every medic should listen to them at-least once.

Still in the early stages of dealing with the financial advisor appointed to me by Medics Money, but so far so good. The Medics Money team themselves have been excellent - very swift with replies and always extremely helpful and pleasant. Keep up the good work.

I used their clear and concise guides to registering an account with HMRC and submitting a form for rebate. Very easy to navigate with the guides and took a lot of the stress out of the process. I would highly recommend for anyone with the need to submit requests for rebate - saved me a significant amount of time

I have found Medics Money to be very helpful in identifying suitable medical accountancy firms who can provide expert information on my complex financial needs. The website is easy to navigate and has lots of useful information which instils confidence. I was contacted very promptly by one of the recommended firms who gave me some important advice on NHS Pensions. I am still waiting to hear from the accountants but I understand that this is a very busy period for them with lots of interest from doctors based on the new pension rules. Tom contacted me early on to ensure I was happy with the service provided which was reassuring and indicates how serious he is in helping medics to better their financial situation. Thanks for setting up your website. I really appreciate it.

Review

Providing financial planning advice to doctors throughout Northern Ireland. This can be achieved through face to face meetings or remotely by Teams/Zoom or telephone consultation. When I meet clients for the first time I would not be surprised to hear they have sacrificed a lot of time and energy to reach their current position. They may also be facing some professional as well as personal challenges. Getting to know and understand my clients, their work life, their home life, their dreams and aspirations is vital if I am to help them to plan for the future. I'm a VouchedFor UK Top Rated Financial Adviser in 2020 and 2021.

Michael has helped me plan my finances now for over 15 years. By helping me negotiate my way out of student debt, to planning for third level education for my children, Michael has always given a fair and honest assessment of my situation and how it has changed over time. In these uncertain times it is more important than ever to protect, plan and manage our finances. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael’s services to any colleague needing financial advice.
