Our Approach
Meet Iain Cairns and learn about his approach to financial planning, responsible investment and straight talking advice.
With us it’s personal
We don’t just want to talk about your money. Most of all, we want to talk about you. Because we believe that even the best investment fund or mortgage deal in the world is worth nothing, if it doesn’t help you live a life you love and build a future you want to be part of.
We call that ‘Life Centred Financial Planning’: a planning approach that focuses first and foremost on the return you want from your life. We’ll always begin by getting to know you, your situation, your goals and your outlook, so that we can build a plan that fits.
Markets fall and rise; trends come and go. But we believe the most important benchmark for your financial plan, is you. So our promise is simple: we’ll help you align your money with your values, so you can focus on the things that really matter to you in life.
We are proudly accredited by:


Iain Cairns, Owner, Lead Financial Planner
“I founded Argyll Financial to help people have the best life they can, with the money they have. I’m proud of the fantastic, like-minded team we have at Argyll Financial; all working together to help people live life on their terms.”
After years of working for corporate banks, Iain founded Argyll Financial in 2012 because he wanted to use his financial skills and experience to focus on really helping people by providing advice to suit their circumstances, hopes and dreams – not simply selling financial products. He is a passionate believer that ‘Return on Life’ is more important than ‘Return on Investment’, and at Argyll Financial he has built a team of advisors who share his people-first approach.
Friendly, laid-back and above all, trustworthy, Iain is a family man who loves to be active outdoors. Sporty and determined, you’ll find him golfing, biking, paddle-boarding and running ultra-marathons – he even has a West Highland Way race finish under his belt!
