I’m comfortable making my own financial decisions and plans, but I was looking for something that sits between fully DIY (using Excel or tools like ChatGPT) and paying for a financial adviser — something that could provide guidance and a second opinion. Warren is the only product I’ve found that genuinely attempts to fill that gap.
The experience feels much more like a conversation than completing a form. You’re asked about your goals, retirement plans, concerns, savings, pensions, and investments in plain English, and it works with you to build a plan that reflects your actual circumstances.
Warren quickly produces personalised forecasts and action plans. It handles more complex scenarios — such as bonuses, specific savings goals, or less typical financial situations — which gives it a level of flexibility beyond a standard templated approach.
I started using Warren in version 1, and it has evolved rapidly since then. Improvements have been consistent and clearly informed by user feedback, and notably, there has been no loss of data — no small feat in software development. I’ve also tested its outputs, using identical inputs, against advice from two financial advisers. In my experience, the quality is comparable, but Warren is significantly more accessible, available 24/7 via web or app, whereas speaking to an IFA can often be less convenient.
That said, it isn’t regulated and isn’t tied to any specific financial provider, so it’s best viewed as a coaching and planning tool rather than a substitute for regulated advice.
For transparency, I work in financial services as a Senior Director of Data and AI Solutions. I have no connection to the company behind Warren, but based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend it.
