"I'd like an adviser that is truly independent, unbiased and has my best interests at heart"

The Care Advice Service is a trading style of Big River Ltd, an independent financial advice firm that specialises in providing financial advice to those moving into care and their families.

Our company is an appointed adviser to a range of organisations, including West Sussex County Council through its Carewise scheme in association with Age UK West Sussex Brighton & Hove.  A number of charitable groups, care providers and solicitors practices also refer to our services.  In addition we are one of the few financial advice companies to be accredited under the Trading Standards ‘Buy With Confidence’ scheme.

As part of the firm’s commitment to offering the best possible advice, our adviser, Tom Scott has completed the Later Life Adviser Accreditation which is a nationally recognised accreditation programme for advisers specialising in the later life arena and is endorsed by the Financial Skills Partnership.

We are also a supporters and members of the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA).  This ‘not for profit’ organisation aims to ensure that consumers are better informed about the financial issues of later life by promoting awareness, raising standards and improving professionalism.
