We are delighted to share that seven of our Crowe Financial Planning consultants have been featured in the VouchedFor 2026 Top Rated Adviser Guide.

This is the first year Crowe Financial Planning has appeared in this prestigious list, which is distributed nationally through The Times, The Mail on Sunday and The Telegraph. It is a meaningful recognition of the consistently high standard of service our consultants provide to clients across the UK.

What is VouchedFor

VouchedFor is an independent website that helps individuals find and compare qualified financial professionals. Users can search for advisors based on their location and the type of support they need, making it easier to identify reputable professionals in their area.

Rather than relying on search engines, VouchedFor offers a centralised platform of fully verified advisors.

All advisors listed on VouchedFor must be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the platform displays each advisor’s qualifications and certifications so individuals can make informed decisions.

Crowe Financial Planning uses Elevation our client feedback platform, which is powered by VouchedFor to gather independent insight from clients about their experience with us.

This gives us a structured way to understand what clients value and where we can continue to improve. Our latest Elevation results are publicly available here:

Together, VouchedFor and Elevation provide a rounded view of client sentiment and help us enhance the service we deliver.

What makes a top-rated financial advisor?

To be included in the VouchedFor Top Rated Adviser Guide, advisors must remain fully verified throughout the year and meet VouchedFor’s ongoing checks and monitoring.

To qualify, advisors must:

  • hold an all-time client rating of 4.5 stars or higher
  • have received at least ten excellent client reviews (averaging 4.5 stars or higher) since January 2025
  • have passed all of the independent checks required as part of VouchedFor’s fully verified membership.

Our consultants’ VouchedFor feedback reflects their continued commitment to delivering a high standard of financial planning and a consistently positive client experience.

Phil Smithyes Being included in the VouchedFor Top Rated Adviser 2026 Guide for the first time is a meaningful milestone for our financial planning team. It reflects the professionalism, care and consistency our consultants demonstrate in every client interaction. The fact that this recognition is driven by independently verified client feedback makes it especially valuable. We will continue to focus on delivering a reliable, well‑supported experience for all our clients, and I am incredibly proud of the team for achieving this.
