“Sterling Advisory Inc., and in particular Mr. Mark Walker, assisted me in successfully transferring my UK pension to Canada efficiently and professionally. Mark explained every step and action clearly; he responded to my calls and emails promptly and provided all the information I needed to make decisions about my pension. He diligently followed up with the UK pension provider and kept me fully up to date at every stage of the process. I am more than satisfied with Mark's work; I have enjoyed his warm and friendly manner and have confidence in his work going forward. I would highly recommend Sterling Advisory Inc.!

“My husband did some research for a representative who could help us transfer our UK pensions to Canada. There were a lot of positive reviews on Sterling Advisory and we decided this was the company we could work with. From the start of the transfer process to the end, Mark was always 100% involved. Mark was always available at the other end of the phone/email any time I needed to discuss or have questions. I felt comfortable and not at all overwhelmed by the process thanks to the level of involvement from Mark.
Natasha Tran
“We enjoyed working with Mark, who had to work hard for us to get everything sorted due to the English pension company being less than helpful at times! Money was successfully transferred in the end!
Simon Samsworth
“Worked with Mark moving a deferred pension from UK to a QROPS scheme in Canada. Patiently answered all my questions, explained the complexities well, no pressure. Following uncontrollable delays, he spent time over the Christmas season ensuring all was completed before a deadline! Excellent service.
Lynda Steer
“Very professional and easy to deal with. The representative guided us through the whole process and explained everything thoroughly. He followed up on the process with the other party when they were slow to act, and the outcome was everything we could expect. Excellent service.

He made the whole process feel seamless. He held my hand through every step, and was available whenever I had hiccups, concerns and questions. He made sure I was fully aware of the process and was extremely knowledgeable on all things pensions. Can’t recommend him enough!

“Mark provided a professional service from start to finish. With his wealth of knowledge and experience transferring UK private pensions to Canada, Mark was informative and provided a level of reassurance and quality of service that ensured we successfully navigated all of the transfer and tax requirements that we could never have done alone. This included an investment strategy after transfer along with all the required forms and documentation for reporting as part of our annual tax returns. I would highly recommend Mark's services to anyone looking to transfer a private pension from the UK. A+!

He was careful to take time to learn about our financial situation and suggested an appropriate investment strategy.

Chris Leighton
“Mark’s guidance through this very tricky transfer was bang on. It was not something I would like to have done on my own - I would have lost my mind with my pension company and the process that is in place from the UK providers. Mark clearly knows this process inside and out and is an invaluable resource for anyone considering using him.
Mike Picken
“Working with Mark Walker at Stirling Advisory Inc to transfer my UK pension to Canada was seamless and stress free. His knowledge of the QROPS process and requirements involved was critical to the process, and from start to finish was a lot quicker than I thought it otherwise might be. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to do the same.
Andrew Gutteridge
“I'd resigned myself to the fact that, due to all the confusion involved, I would never be able to transfer my UK Pension over to Canada. Luckily a relative recommended Mark and mentioned that Mark had transferred her pension from the UK, guiding her from start to finish. The whole process was handled with ease. She was extremely happy with Mark's work, and now so am I. I cannot thank him enough. I am happy to recommend Mark's services to anyone needing help in bringing their UK Pensions over to Canada. He was amazing.
Karen and Robin Andrew
“Excellent financial advice and experience of both UK and Canadian pension legislation. Mark has the knowledge to help successful navigate the complicated and time consuming requirements of both the HMRC and CRA - highly recommend.
Simon Knight
“I recently worked with Mark at Sterling Advisory Inc. to transfer my parent's UK pension to Canada, and I couldn’t be happier with the service we received. The process was long and at times quite complex, but Mark was patient, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout. He took the time to explain each step clearly and made sure we were comfortable with every decision. His professionalism and attention to detail gave us full confidence that everything was being handled properly. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for expert guidance with their pension transfer or financial planning needs.
