Danbro Clients Get Access to Specialist Financial Products

Specialist accountancy firm Danbro is offering its clients access to a range of financial products and services, designed especially for contract and freelance workers.

Danbro has teamed up with ContractorFinancials, which offers financial services such as pensions, insurance and mortgages, designed specifically for those in the freelancing community who are often unable to use financial products from traditional providers.

From Monday, 1 March, any Danbro client will be able to request an initial consultation with their in-house adviser, who will help determine exactly which services are appropriate for them, before referring them to ContractorFinancials.

The full list of services which will be available is as follows:

  • Pensions
  • Mortgages
  • Income Protection
  • Life Insurance
  • Critical illness insurance
  • Tax free savings
  • Investments for Children
  • Wills
  • Home insurance
  • Private health cover

Danbro’s in-house adviser Chris James said: “Often people who work as a contractor or freelancer find they are not able to take up mainstream financial products, or they may take them up and then find they do not suit their specific needs.

“ContractorFinancials are focused exclusively on meeting the needs of the UK’s freelancer community so anyone taking out one of their products can be confident it has been designed to take account of issues such as varying incomes and short-term contracts.”

  • Tony Harris, managing director of ContractorFinancials, added: "We are very selective as to which service providers we are associated with and so are delighted to be working with a firm of Danbro’s quality. We look forward to being able to help their clients make the most of their Contractor status whilst also helping them to avoid some of the pitfalls that working freelance can sometimes present. 
  • “In particular, use of our unrivalled contacts in the mortgage market will help ensure that we can secure competitive rates based on the client’s contract alone and I also know that our contractor retirement solution will help save clients very substantial amounts of tax.”
