Asquith & Partners was set up in 2005 by Richard Bertin, a qualified Chartered Accountant and Nick Bedford, an experienced Investment Banker as they believed that there was a gap in the market.

Asquith & Partners works with very high net worth private clients, mainly professional people, executives and entrepreneurs. It currently looks after a number of families and has wealth in excess of £150 million under advice.

"We provide a new type of service - one you really can't find elsewhere. The concept grew out of my experience as an accountant and a financial consultant. I want Asquith & Partners to build a reputation for advice that's truly objective, based on a rigorous analysis of the client's situation. That's the accountant in me. But I also know from my years as a consultant that clients value the insights that grow out of personal relationships - the sort of counsel that, in the past, a trusted banker would have provided. So we aim to build long-term, personal relationships right from the start. The third element of our service is a network of trusted professional advisers that we can call on to support our clients right across the board."
