In the community
We’re committed to supporting the communities in which we live and work, working with local charities and business groups.
Hope For Food
Hope for Food’s mission is to assist men, women and children in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas, who are either homeless or living in poverty, by providing community meals, food parcels, good quality clothing, bedding and household goods, where needed, whilst preserving the dignity of those that they try to help.
PFM Associates are proud to be supporting Hope for Food as their chosen charity in 2025 and will be taking part in a number of initiatives to help raise invaluable funds that will help those in the local community.
In May 2025, six members of the PFM Associates team will be taking part in the Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge, walking 100km non-stop over challenging terrain, and we have set a fundraising target of £5,000, with all funds being raised going directly to Hope for Food.
Craig Stokes
It was an absolute privilege to have Mary visit our office in January and tell us about the various ways they help those in our local community. The whole team at PFM feel passionate about supporting the work they do and we can’t wait to get involved and help them make a real difference to those that need it most.

What our clients say
We have known John Skipton for 11 years. John Skipton is always patient and gives good sound advice. I would be happy to recommend John Skipton and PFM Associates to anyone should the situation arise.
Christchurch Clients since 2014
John has a very strong ability to explain complex financial matters in a simple and concise way, without watering down the key points of detail. This is important when I am making decisions about my financial future.
Bournemouth A client since 2015
Since being a client of PFM, I have been really impressed with the level of personal service and advice I have also received. Pensions and tax are a minefield of complexity to the uninformed and PFM have brought great clarity and I have learned much from Christian's advice, all provided with a very friendly and clear approach.
Bournemouth A client since 2019
PFM have been our Independent Financial Advisers for many years. We like the fact that each adviser has their own area of expertise, so clients have access to a wide knowledge base. We feel confident that our money is well-managed and highly recommend PFM.
Dorset A client since 1998
I was introduced to PFM by a family member about 12 years ago, in order to obtain personal pension planning advice. I have been very pleased with the advice given by my adviser, for my pensions and for wealth management. I have no hesitation in recommending PFM.
Bristol A client since 2012
Christian is only my second ‘adviser’ in 30 years of professional financial advice and I feel that I could not have acquired a better one; he listens carefully, is always empathetic to my concerns and requests.
I totally trust his judgement and considered advice which has always been balanced and very rewarding.
