What Our Clients Say
Trusted by financial advisers, business leaders, and professionals across the UK.
"Another day, another success story... A great two hours with Valli. She was a great fit and she helped me to get through some pretty mundane to-dos. It's got me straight so I won't be re-booking at this point but if I ever need help again, I'd love to have her help me."
Miles Sharp
St. James's Place Wealth Management
"Buy-Time have been a pleasure to work with and particularly helpful with the management of my diary and keeping on top of outstanding documents with all our external providers. With client servicing coming under increased scrutiny, they have kept all client details up to date and ensured review meetings as well as client ID and AML requirements were all accurately recorded."
Matthew Rowland DipPFS
Partner
"I know I've mentioned to you before, but I feel Martyna is really outstanding. Of the various PAs I've worked with through the years, both those who have worked for me full time as well as via part time organisations like yours, Martyna is at the top. Really organised, thoughtful, smart and thorough. She's a complement to your organisation."
Robin Horner
St. James's Place
"I have recommended BuyTime to my partners since first meeting them in 2008. I have found their approach, their team, to be highly professional, knowledgeable and efficient, and in most cases they rapidly became indispensable to the partner/practice. I would recommend them to any partner looking to expand or who in general just needs additional ad hoc support."
