Accreditations and awards

We are Chartered Financial Planners

What sets us apart is our motivation to continually study, update our knowledge, listen to our clients, and apply our understanding to the situation.

That fire in our belly has culminated in us being awarded Chartered Financial Planners status – an award that recognises the firm as a whole. It’s a mark of professional standing among all professions and yet another way to demonstrate our expertise and commitment.

What Chartered means for you

It’s all well and good talking about our Chartered status, but what really matters is how it impacts and adds value to the service you receive.

We are top of the class at demonstrating the highest levels of financial and technical knowledge, so you will feel reassured that your problems will be solved by some of the best people in the industry.
