Starting his career in the Financial Services industry in late 2020, Andrew is an Associate Financial Planner based in our Aberdeen office.

After graduating from Robert Gordon University with a degree in Law and Management in May 2020, he began working as a Trainee Financial Planner and learning the processes of back-office systems and paraplanning, all while sitting the required exams to become fully qualified!

With a drive to further progress his financial services career, Andrew joined the Acumen Financial Planning team in January 2023.

Outside of the office, he has a keen interest in cars, motorbikes and motorsport, especially Formula 1. But when he’s not watching a race, Andrew and his partner enjoy getting outdoors and enjoying the company of their Working Cocker Spaniel, Freddie.

What do you like most about working at Acumen Financial Planning?

“Every client is unique in their financial journey. Whether it be young professionals starting their careers to clients looking to pass on their wealth to their families, we get to work with clients who have a wide range of requirements.

“Having the knowledge to help ensure clients can achieve their goals in life is the most satisfying part of being a Financial Planner.”

What has been your proudest career achievement to date?

“Passing all my exams first time to become a fully qualified Financial Planner would be one. However, being able to apply all knowledge and experience to clients and reassure them of their financial position is equally important to me.”
