Financial adviser in Rossendale
I'm Max Gallagher, a financial adviser (DipPFS, CeMAP) with Financial Options Group, working with clients the length of the Rossendale Valley, Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Waterfoot, Bacup and Whitworth included. My office is in Walshaw, on the Bury side just south of the valley, so Rossendale is doorstep territory for me rather than the far corner of a patch. It's a valley of proud mill towns turned commuter country, and the financial questions people bring me here reflect both halves of that story.
First meetings are free and carry no obligation, I'll happily come up to you in Rawtenstall, Haslingden or Bacup, or you're welcome at my office in Walshaw, just down the road in Bury. If shift patterns or the school run make meeting awkward, Teams or a phone call works just as well from anywhere in the valley. We'll start by making sense of what you've already got and agree next steps together before you commit to anything.
Who I help in Rossendale
- Plenty of the valley commutes down the M66 to Manchester and picks up a different workplace pension at every job along the way, I help pull those threads together into one clear picture.
- Rossendale still runs on small firms and the self-employed, a tradition going back to its slipper-making days, if no employer is paying into a pension for you, we can build one ourselves.
- For many Rossendale families, wealth means the house, some savings and perhaps a business built over decades, I help you think through how it passes to the next generation.
- I'm based in Walshaw, just over the boundary in Bury, near enough to meet over a brew in Rawtenstall rather than through a screen.
Whether you spent your working life with a valley firm, in public service in Rawtenstall or Bacup, or commuting to Manchester collecting a pension at every stop, I'll help you turn that patchwork into a clear plan for retiring in Rossendale.
From stone terraces in Waterfoot and Stacksteads to family homes in Helmshore and Edenfield, I arrange mortgages across Rossendale's mixed housing stock, including the quirks that older valley properties can raise with lenders.
