You are leaving the website of EIGHT Financial Advice, an Appointed Representative of St. James’s Place Wealth Management plc. The site you are about to visit is not part of our FCA-regulated activities and different regulatory protections may apply.
EIGHT was founded on a simple belief: that financial advice should be as real as the people receiving it.
A message from our founder
With EIGHT I believed something different was possible. If you built a firm around people first, genuinely, not just an idea, everything else would follow. The right clients. The right advisers. The right culture. A place where the people who work here feel as supported as the people we serve.
What I am proudest of is not a number. It is the feeling in the room when a client finally understands their financial picture, when the weight lifts and they leave with something they did not have before. A calm confidence. A sense that their future is something they are building and are in control of, not something happening to them.
That is what EIGHT is for. And we are just getting started.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
A plan for the life you’re living. Your life, your plan.
We've never believed that good financial advice begins with a spreadsheet. It begins with a conversation. Because when someone truly understands what you're building and why, the advice that follows is completely different.
Trusted by our community to deliver on
our promises.
Over 500+ independent 5-star reviews.
Knowing over guessing
You should always know exactly how your money is working for you. That means straightforward language, transparent pricing up-front, and the confidence to ask us anything, at any time.
Life over spreadsheets
Your goals shape the strategy, never the other way around. We start every conversation by asking what matters most to you, not what the market is doing or what documents you have with you.
Partnership over transactions
We are not here for a single meeting. As you live your life, through a new job, a new stage in your family or leave a business, we evolve with you, and so does your plan.
BEYOND THE OFFICE
Invested in our communities
We all have a part to play, and ours is sharing what we do well with the people around us. We know that access to good financial advice changes lives, because we have seen it change our own. That starts with our team, and it does not stop at the office.
Financial Education
Schools and Workplaces
Financial Education
Empowering the next generation with tools to understand money from a young age.
We partner with schools and workplaces to provide workshops run by our financial advisers. Covering everything from basic savings and budgeting to the power of compound interest, our sessions give people a foundation that will serve them for life. Because good financial habits are not just for clients. They are for everyone.
A supported community is a stronger one. For everyone in it.
Interested in partnering with us on one of these initiatives?
Because looking after our people is not a perk. It is how we work.
At Eight, every member of our team has access to financial advice, healthcare support and mental health resources as part of working here. We believe that genuinely supported people do genuinely better work, and that the care we show our colleagues is the same care we bring to every client relationship.
Building the next generation of financial advisers.
The profession needs more than technical knowledge. It needs people with genuine empathy, curiosity, and the drive to make a real difference in client’s lives. The EIGHT Adviser Academy provides a structured, supported pathway into and through a career in financial planning. From your first client meeting to building your own client base, we invest in your development at every stage.
The Eight Foundation exists because we believe that success means more when it is shared. Every pound we raise, every hour our team volunteers, every cause we champion, all flows back into the communities that have supported us and that we are proud to be part of.
Our team doesn’t just write cheques. They show up, fundraise, volunteer, and they advocate for causes that matter to the people around them.
"We don’t fundraise because we have to. We do it because it feels right. And because the causes that matter to our clients and communities deserve every bit of it."
Close enough to know you. Big enough to protect you.
Being part of the St. James's Place Partnership means our clients get something rare, the warmth and personal attention of a close-knit team, with the reach and resources of the UK's largest provider of advice-led wealth management behind them.
