Twitter is fast becoming second nature amongst society’s daily lifestyle routines, with over 230 million tweets each day, the majority of people are choosing to update Twitter with a lifestyle, news and information tweet to followers and users.
With this in mind, Remortgage Supermarket have decided to research into the ‘Top 25 IFA Tweeters’, for people who are interested in financial advice, news and guidance.
Our list is the result of research and observation, into over 200 IFA Twitter accounts over the past month. This has since resulted in the difficult task of narrowing our list down to 25 twitter accounts for people to choose.
To help us pick the top 25 IFA tweeters, we factored in the users Twitter influence, the frequency of tweets, the number of followers and the overall relevancy and usefulness of their tweets.
Anyone who tweets about financial advice, information or news has been considered, along with professional Independent Financial Advisers.
Here is the list of Top 25 IFA Tweeters with links to their Twitter page and Twitter Bio. We recommend that you follow all of them on Twitter and vote for up to 5 IFA’s in the poll below.

Quite a few people on that list are not actually IFAs but service providers to IFAs
Hi John,
Thanks for your post, and I applogise for the confusion. As stated in the blog post above, the eligibility criteria for finding the top 25 was: ‘Anyone who tweets about financial advice, information or news has been considered, along with professional Independent Financial Advisers’. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Derek Bradley at Panacea has been brilliant in supporting IFAs in all areas and has never failed to reply to any emails I have sent him. A worthy candidate.
