Absolute Financial Group has added four new independent financial adviser (IFA) firms to the group.

The IFA consolidator said that the four companies, based in the North West, build on recent acquisitions in the West, South and East of England.

Joining Absolute are Wigan-based Allied Financial Services, Liverpool-based RSJ Financial Planning, Manchester-based Millcroft Wealth Management, and Bury-based Mackenzie Financial Planning.

Absolute has estimated the four firms will bring a further £577m in assets under advice (AUA), taking its total to over £2.1bn.

CEO of Absolute Financial Group, David Carter, commented: “Welcoming four highly respected North West firms into Absolute Financial Group is another significant milestone in our national growth strategy, which is continuing at pace.

“These businesses add not only scale but deep local expertise, strong client relationships, and shared values around the importance of truly independent advice. Establishing a North West hub through Allied Financial Services strengthens our regional presence and underlines our commitment to supporting advisers with the infrastructure, resources, and autonomy they need to deliver outstanding outcomes for clients.”

All four firms’ existing offices and colleagues will be part of the Absolute group, significantly expanding its footprint in the region. This marks a total of 10 IFA firms across England who have joined the consolidator since it was established, with eight deals completing in the last month.

The largest of the latest four additions, Allied Financial Services, will operate as a North West hub for Absolute, establishing a stronger presence for the group locally.

Founder of Allied Financial Services, Alisdair Lindley, added: “Joining Absolute Financial Group is an exciting step forward for our firm, our colleagues, and our clients. Absolute’s long-term vision, commitment to adviser support, and respect for the individuality of local businesses made this a natural fit.

“Becoming the North West hub gives us the opportunity to retain our local roots while benefiting from the scale, investment, and collaborative strength of a growing national group.”
