Independent consultancy and financial planner Jelf has seen revenues increase by 8.4 per cent to £82.6m, from £76.2m in 2013.

The firm’s results for year ended 30 September 2014 also showed that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation increased by 32.4 per cent to £14.6m - up from £11m last year - while profit after tax increased by 40.4 per cent to £6.5m - rising from £4.6m.

Adviser productivity in the financial planning business also rose 8.4 per cent, helping to drive increased margins and earnings before interest of £400,000.

The acquisition of The Insurance Partnership last June has delivered ahead of expectations, while two additional bolt on acquisitions made during the period for a total consideration of £400,000.

The TIP acquisition helped push insurance earnings before interest up 69.3 per cent to £9.4m - from £5.6m in 2013 - while the employee benefits business delivered earnings before interest of £4.8m.

Alex Alway, group chief executive, said that trading since the start of October has been in line with expectations and he is looking forward to another year of profitable growth.
