BBi Financial Planning Ltd is a new company formed in 2015, but you might already know us as the financial services department of Berns Brett Ltd.

We are still part of the global Berns Brett Group – not bad for a company which started as a local insurance broker in Walthamstow in 1967.

While both of our financial advisers are already at chartered level, forming a new company allows us to qualify for Chartered Financial Planner status as a firm, as well as individually.

With years of experience between us and hundreds of satisfied clients behind us, we are looking forward to the opportunities ahead of us.
