I don't know anybody, no... but I would say this:
What you need is someone who can educate you on tax/retirement/estate issues as they pertain to your specific situation. What you DON'T need is someone who "made money for" somebody else. The two things are very, very different. Furthermore, it is a proven FACT that financial advisors/fund managers/investment professionals cannot pick winning stocks anymore than a monkey throwing darts. So, just because somebody's monkey picked some winners is no guarantee that they'll make any money for you.
"Financial Advisors" - at least here in the US - are really salesmen. They tell you that some mutual fund or annuity is just the ticket for your goals, but the fact is, they're getting a commission on what they're selling to you.
You can pretty much buy the exact same stocks, bonds, and mutual funds in the UK that you can in the US. You can use the same sorts of online brokerage services, or deal with the same mutual fund companies. You can invest in Fidelity mutual funds, buy shares of Microsoft, and buy US Treasury Bills. In fact, most foreign investors do exactly that.
What you need to do is learn about your specific needs - are you looking for retirement savings? Do you worry about taxes? Are you trying to save for your children? - and then educate yourself on investing. It's actually pretty darn easy. There are many wonderful books on the subject, and - believe it or not - the most successful method of investing is actually the simplest.
I don't know where to find UK/US-specific information, as I'm new to this situation, myself. I'm not even sure how the income tax thing will work, yet... which is why I'm browsing this board!
