About Us

We are an independent financial planning firm specialising in retirement and investment planning - pensions, drawdown, annuities and long-term investment management. Independent means no ties to product providers and no quotas: just advice built entirely around you.

Since 1994, Douglas Steers & Company has combined the personal approach of a family business with the rigour of a team of more than 50 professionals. We search the whole market to find the right fit for your goals, not the nearest available product

From first pension to passing wealth to the next generation, we've supported clients through every significant financial decision. That means honest conversations, clear thinking, and advisers who know your circumstances as well as you do.
