By understanding what you can afford, you will be able to make smarter decisions when planning for the future. Many people aim to have a pension pot totalling two-thirds of their current salary by retirement.

Having used Mark O’Neil and the team at True Bearing for many years for various pensions, investment and financial planning services I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have always been incredibly professional and attentive to all our needs whilst providing a level of service rarely seen these days. I would whole heartedly recommend that you speak with them about any financial matters you need assistance with as Mark and the team will not let you down. Thank you for all your help over the years and I look forward to continue working with you.

Highly professional organisation providing no nonsense clear and practical financial planning advice and services.
Since choosing True Bearing I've had several review meetings with Pete my financial advisor and always received friendly advice and recommendations. No pressure selling, just trustworthy, sensible options based upon my current position and prevailing market conditions. Would have no hesitation recommending.

Since being introduced to Mark O’Neill we have formed a good trusting friendship and understanding of each other. He always explains his reasoning well and puts everything in layman’s terms when asked to explain anything. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough and look forward to a continuing good working relationship long into the future.

I have been with True Bearing for ten years, aiming to achieve a smooth transition from a busy career into retirement with a secure income.
Mark O"Neill has consistently been a trusted and efficient FA with a positive, friendly manner. His knowledge is always up-to-date, planning and implementation meticulous; always with an eye on comfortable risk levels.
With an efficient back room team, Mark provides a twice yearly review yet is always on hand to answer any day to day queries.
Retirement in any financial climate is never without stress and recent turbulent times have been unprecedented. Mark

Mark O’Neill at True Bearing was recommended to me by my daughter. As a solicitor she was very careful in her recommendation, Mark came highly regarded. Mark is very knowledgeable and also shows considerable empathy. My portfolio has been put together to meet my future financial needs. Time was taken to consider my options and I have received very regular updates. The home visits have been particularly helpful as during our convivial conversations Mark was able to gauge my requirements. As a “ newcomer “ to financial planning I feel very confident in True Bearing , Mark and the team.

I contacted True Bearing in Autumn 2020 to obtain financial advice in preparation for mine & my husbands’ retirement the following summer. Due to covid our meetings with Mark Russel were via Microsoft Team which was sightly challenging for us, being technophobes but Mark was patient and professional. Qualities that he displayed over the next year as I had to reschedule several times, on each occasion Mark was flexible and accommodated our needs.
Following our initial meeting Mark prepared a cashflow report which demonstrated our various options, clearly illustrating the impacted of inflation
