I am Paul McGowan, Managing Director and expert mortgage and protection adviser at How ? Financial Review (Stockport) Ltd. I have over 35 years’ experience within the industry and am passionate about helping clients to get the right products at the right prices.

Paul has been called a “Financial Business Architect” by many business owners. This lies in his ability to generally talk about all things financial. He listens carefully to the needs of people and has an ability to signpost customers to other advisers where they need advice for Pensions and Investments. He also helps people with Estate planning which includes Wills Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorney.

Will Writing and Powers of Attorney is not part of the Quilter Financial Planning offering and is offered in our own right. Quilter Financial Planning accept no responsibility for this aspect of our business.

Paul specialises in Corporate Protection for Ltd companies. This includes Shareholder Protection, Key Person Cover and Employee benefit schemes such as Group Sick pay, Critical Illness cover and death in Service schemes.
