David Brimer

"The service we have received from ATEB and in particular Lisa, our Compliance Consultant has been outstanding from outset. Lisa is able to simplify and breakdown to us the myriad of new rules and regulation that come into force within our industry, as well as work ‘hands on’ with us to ensure we keep our procedures and processes up-to-date.

We would not hesitate to recommend ATEB and Lisa to other people because they really do ‘partner’ with your business."

Mark Cowell

"As soon as I made the decision to set up my own directly authorised Financial Advice business in 2006, the first person I contacted was Steve Bailey post a meeting I had with him some 10 years previously.

Steve and his staff (Mike Senior more especially) have always been proactive, conscientious and a vital cog in our small business and the services that we provide

Their reputation within the industry has grown over the last 20 years employing them as our compliance function adds reassurance to our clients and to ourselves."

"We have used ATEB for a few years and have been guided both by Steve and Lisa. Lisa has primarily looked after us for the last 2 years and she is an absolute joy to work with. Lisa is not only extremely knowledgeable about her subject but also understands the challenges of financial planning from a firms perspective. The ability to speak to Lisa to discuss complicated cases and to ensure that one takes the right approach is invaluable. We see ATEB and Lisa as part of our team; here to offer us advice, guidance, support and ultimately to keep our clients and us safe."

Their approach and organisation has simplified what can sometime be a complicated process and saved us a huge amount of time, but equally offering us peace of mind.

"I have had a professional relationship with ATEB now for around 10 years, both with my current and past company and also as an employee and business owner. They are forward thinking, proactive and offer a genuinely balanced view. They are definitely not “Yes” people and always advise on issues in a technically correct manner but crucially they are also pragmatic in their thinking. From a business owners perspective I have looked at alternative options over the years but these people are trusted professionals and I take peace of mind that our business has gained added value through working with ATEB and following its guidance."

Beyond simply helping us to meet our regulatory requirements in a compliant manner, they have helped to positively develop our internal framework, improved our procedures and have become an integral plug in to our business. Without question our business has gained added value with ATEB’s help and I would not hesitate to recommend the services on offer to any firm looking to improve their financial services business."
