George Hartley

Independent Financial Adviser, Abacus Associates

I am based in Stokesley and operate throughout North and East Yorkshire, where I previously lived for over 40 years. I have over 25 years’ experience in the Financial Services industry.

My aim is to help clients to preserve or grow their wealth by providing first rate advice in the areas of investments, all aspects of pensions, wealth management, mortgage finance, insurance, protection and inheritance tax. I also offer my services to the commercial market and have extensive knowledge around workplace pensions.

I am committed to delivering better value and choice for my clients, and a service that is unique. I focus on growing and preserving the wealth of individuals, families and businesses. My clients work extremely hard to build their wealth, and I apply the same effort to ensure their wealth grows as efficiently as possible, with the use of effective portfolio and tax planning.

I aim to provide a professional and friendly service to existing and new customers and firmly believe in building long-standing relationships with my customers, based on an honest and trustworthy approach and always aim to explain things in a straightforward manner.

I offer truly Independent advice and although the majority of my clients are based in North and East Yorkshire I do visit clients in Manchester and West Yorkshire.

My specific areas of expertise:

Investment & wealth management

Creating, growing, and then maintaining wealth is key to successful financial planning and should be part of a longer-term investment strategy.

Personal protection

Talking about illness, disability or death is never an easy conversation to have but protecting against the unexpected will help with financial security and ensure your family can cope should the worst happen.

Lifetime financial planning

If you have a Defined Benefit or Final Salary pension scheme, there may be individual circumstances where a pension transfer could be advantageous.

Later life & estate planning

We spend a lifetime building our wealth, so it’s important to find the most effective way to protect your assets, in order for you to pass them on to those you love as efficiently as possible.

Pensions & retirement planning

When you think about the future, what does your retirement look like to you? An important question which we can help you answer.

Wills & power of attorney

Making a Will is essential to ensuring that your wealth benefits those whom you choose and is not taken by taxation, unnecessary legal costs and beneficiaries chosen by the law.

Defined benefit pension transfer specialist

If you have a Defined Benefit or Final Salary pension scheme, there may be individual circumstances where a pension transfer could be advantageous.
