Peer review:

I have known James Sellon for many years, and have worked most closely over the past three years, both on common clients and my personal investments. As a tax practitioner serving individuals with US and UK tax considerations, it is a challenge finding investment professionals with the skills and platform to service my clients. I never hesitate to recommend James to my clients, as I know that he has both. Moreover, I trust James to provide a very personal service to my clients. He takes the time to get to know them and their objectives in great detail, applying technology and his broad knowledge, and arrives at a financial plan that considers all of their needs and not just an asset allocation. James also has a strong grounding in US and UK planning and compliance, so he asks the right questions and serves as a capable sounding board for the tax advisor. His platform makes filing the US and UK tax returns much easier, and he ensures that his clients stay in compliance with both jurisdictions. Most importantly, James is an empathetic person who puts his clients' interests first and operates with the highest integrity.

07 May 2019

Peer review:

I first met James in 2009 shortly after he co-founded MASECO Private Wealth. Since that time, I have referred many clients to him and have always been impressed with the skill in which he manages his relationships with them. James consistently manages to secure the ‘trusted advisor’ status that all advisors strive towards but few successfully deliver. James is driven by sensible long term financial planning, an intellectual view of the markets and tax literacy.

07 May 2019

Peer review:

James understands the real meaning of ‘know your client’ and provides genuinely personal advice and solutions. This allows him to build consistently strong, and invariably long term relationships, with those who engage him.
