Business Details
We are Candor Rubra Financial Ltd, an independent financial planning firm located at 128 City Road, London. We work with people at different stages of life, supporting individuals, families and business owners in understanding their financial position and establishing plans that reflect their aims. Our approach is built on candour: we communicate openly, explain financial recommendations in accessible language and confirm our fees before any work commences. By setting out the reasons for our advice clearly, we help you understand how proposed solutions relate to your needs.
Our expertise includes pension reviews and consolidation, retirement planning and strategies for drawing an income in later life. This encompasses drawdown and approaches to withdrawing funds tax-efficiently. We also provide investment planning involving ISAs and general investment accounts, as well as cashflow assessments to help you judge whether your objectives remain achievable. Company directors and business owners can access pension and investment planning suited to their circumstances. We review plans on an ongoing basis to account for changes in your life and the rules affecting your arrangements. Every new relationship starts with an initial discussion that carries no cost or obligation, allowing both parties to establish whether working together is appropriate. Should you proceed, we research recommendations in light of your objectives, attitude to risk and capacity for loss, with continuing service available thereafter. We offer appointments in London or by video. Investment values and income may decrease or increase, and you could recover less than invested. Candor Rubra Financial Ltd is an Appointed Representative of ValidPath Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Services
Wealth Management
Our approach to wealth management begins with understanding what financial security means to you and what you wish to achieve. We assess your assets, income, liabilities and risk appetite before developing a personalised financial strategy. As an independent firm, we select investments and platforms according to their suitability rather than commercial incentives. Transparent charges, tax-efficient planning and regular reviews ensure your financial arrangements remain relevant as your circumstances evolve.
Mortgage Advice
Choosing a mortgage involves more than comparing interest rates, as fees, terms and individual circumstances can significantly affect the overall cost. We assess the full range of market options to help you make an informed financial decision. Our independent service supports first-time buyers, homeowners moving property, those approaching remortgage deadlines and landlords seeking buy-to-let or specialist finance, with transparent costs and recommendations tailored to their requirements.
Protection Advice
We help individuals and business owners prepare for the financial consequences of unexpected illness, injury or bereavement. Our protection advice covers personal policies, including life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection, alongside business solutions for directors, employees and shareholders. By understanding what you stand to lose, we identify appropriate cover without unnecessary expense and explain your options transparently, enabling you to select protection suited to your circumstances.
Pension Advice
Managing several pensions can make it difficult to understand their value, costs and contribution towards your future retirement. We review your existing provisions individually, ensuring that important guarantees and benefits receive proper consideration before any changes are proposed. Our independent recommendations may involve consolidation, retaining particular arrangements or combining both approaches. We then help you plan the next stage, including how to access your pension savings through drawdown or other available options.
Inheritance Tax Planning
I provide independent guidance to help you make informed decisions about the wealth you intend to pass on. Following an assessment of your property, pensions, investments and wider estate, I develop clear recommendations tailored to your intentions. We review these arrangements as circumstances evolve and involve your solicitor when necessary, helping ensure your inheritance tax planning remains coordinated and supports the people you want to protect.
