Financial Management Services

Financial Management Services was formed in 1993 by Dr Ken Hayden and was initially a member of IFA Network Limited (which has subsequently become Sesame Limited). Initially, FMS consisted of Ken Hayden working from home under the guidance of the Network.

In 1996 FMS leased offices at Garston House and Ken Hayden was joined by other advisers.

Advisers came and went during the period of membership of IFA Network, although Sue Keaty remains from the original people working from Garston House

IFA network continued to expand and its working practices became unacceptable to Dr Hayden. As a consequence, Financial Management Services left the Network and became directly regulated in 2002. We wanted to maintain contact and a "group" atmosphere with like minded IFAs and so Acuma Asset Management became our first appointed representative at the same time as we left the Network.

FMS continued to expand and took on a number of new consultants working from Garston House. At the same time we expanded out Appointed Representative Network to 9 companies and some 26 advisers.
