Biography


As a Planning Consultant I support Financial Consultants by co-creating plans with clients. I believe that financial planning is about developing relationships with clients to fully understand their goals and wishes. A financial plan can be a very powerful tool for clients as they move towards retirement and begin to think about how they would like to spend their time after working hard their entire career.
