About us

Find out about the Cleeve Financial Planning story and the amazing team we’ve built – including advisers and our Partner Practice Specialists who do a lot of the work for you behind the scenes!

Our Story

Cleeve Financial Planning opened its doors in 2019, and we have been providing regulated financial advice and retirement planning services to our clients in Bristol and the South West ever since. We have 5 fully qualified financial advisers supported by a team of Practice Support Specialists, and we are still growing!

Everyone we bring into the team, whether it be advisers, senior management or support staff is painstakingly selected to ensure we feel they have the same core values and principles we adhere to as a company.

We work from our Stoke Gifford office, just behind Parkway station, but we are also more than happy to visit clients at their homes, work environments, coffee shops or wherever you feel comfortable. This is about you, whatever suits your situation! We have developed our own set of values that we regularly test and hold ourselves accountable to. This ensures we will never let you down. You can read more from our happy customers below.


What our clients say…

The reviews shown above have been gathered and displayed directly through Google and have not been verified by St. James’s Place.
“We believe dependable, valued financial advice should be clear, personal and reassuring. We try to ensure we communicate with clarity and empathy. Our advisers and wider team all have an understanding of the value of money. How hard it was to work all those years for it, or perhaps the emotional ties to money handed down. Being asked to help look after the money of an individual is a privilege and that is never lost on us”

Advising Principal

Our values guide everything we do at Cleeve.

They shape how we work with our clients, how we support one another as a team, and how we make decisions. We believe financial planning should feel clear, personal and grounded in real life, not driven by jargon or pressure. By focusing on long-term relationships, honest conversations and thoughtful advice, we help our clients move forward with confidence, knowing their plans are built around what matters most to them.

Real relationships

We take time to understand the person behind the numbers. Long-term relationships and trust sit at the heart of how we work.

Clarity & confidence

Financial decisions shouldn’t feel confusing or intimidating. We explain things clearly, so you feel confident about every step you take.

The story behind the numbers

Your finances are part of a much bigger picture — your family, career, ambitions and values. We design advice around that full story, not just spreadsheets.

Human expertise

Expertise matters, but so does empathy. We combine professional knowledge with a down-to-earth, personal approach that puts people first.
