Amber River strengthens partnerships with two professional bodies

Amber River has strengthened its partnerships with The Law Society (TLS) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

The financial planning firm said the move would create new opportunities for advisers, accountants and solicitors to work together in support of their clients.

Together, TLS and ICAEW represent almost 400,000 professionals across England and Wales, working in thousands of firms and advising clients on a wide range of personal and business financial matters.

Amber River said that by strengthening links between advisers, solicitors and accountants, TLS and ICAEW would make trusted independent financial advice more accessible.

Throughout the year, Amber River will work with both TLS and ICAEW on a programme of educational activity to support members, including conferences, webinars, roundtable discussions and thought leadership.

The firm suggested that by combining its specialist financial planning expertise with the trusted relationships solicitors and accountants have with their clients, the partnerships will create opportunities for more joined-up, holistic financial support.

Group head of customer voice and marketing at Amber River, Chris Hulse, said: “Our purpose is to enrich the lives of our clients, colleagues and communities. By working closely with fellow professionals, we can create better holistic outcomes for clients as well as foster strong local relationships through our regional wealth centres and communities.”

Head of partnerships and sales at TLS, Fiona O’Mahony, commented: “We are delighted to be working with Amber River to support the financial wellbeing of our members.

“As a specialist independent financial planning business, Amber River has a strong track record of acting as a trusted partner to leading professionals like ours. This partnership strengthens the support available to our members, giving them access to independent financial planning expertise to help them navigate their financial journeys with greater confidence.”

Head of partnerships at ICAEW, Rick Asiyani, added: “Our members play a critical role in helping individuals and businesses navigate financial complexity, and this partnership with Amber River provides an additional layer of support where specialist financial planning advice is needed.

“By working together, we can help ensure clients benefit from joined-up, high-quality advice that reflects their long-term goals and financial wellbeing.”
