"I developed a relationship with Germain Financial Associates about three and a half years ago when I met Michelle at a networking event. Steve, Michelle's husband, subsequently joined one of my Business for Breakfast groups and over the years Steve's integrity, commitment and reliability shone through. I needed to do something with my pension and Steve handed me over to Michelle as this is her area of specialism.

Michelle is professional in her approach and very serious about her business. We are aware of peaks and troughs in the financial space but Germain Financial Associates are in close contact with their clients all the time keeping them updated with market trends giving reassurance that their money is in good hands. Michelle's motto is "be prepared for the longest holiday of your life" and that, together with Michelle's business ethics, should attract anyone who is looking forward to stress-free retirement."

"Comprehensive and exceptional financial advice from Germain Financial associates has saved us tax and exceeded all of the financial objectives we required to achieve unplanned, early retirement. We didn’t believe that it was possible.

"Thank you Michelle, for your unparalleled efficiency, charm and professional attention. You have changed our lives."

David and Rosalie Rye

“I have known Michelle for several years and when my mortgage was due recently I asked Michelle for her help to find me the best mortgage for me. What a relief! She sourced a fantastic mortgage that is within my budget, with a reputable company and basically I didn't have to do anything to complete it except sign a few forms. She also sorted out some great critical illness cover for me. She really spends the time sourcing the right product for your circumstances and within your budget. I can't recommend Michelle enough. If you are looking for someone to sort out the financial side of your life, which I generally find overwhelming and wouldn't even know where to start, Michelle takes that all away from you and does the job brilliantly.

Thanks Michelle - that's two less headaches I have now!
Onto the pension......”
