Career Profile

Joe joined Active Chartered Financial Planners in March 2015 and has built a career defined by integrity, technical knowledge, and a deep commitment to helping clients make informed financial decisions.

Joe initially joined the firm in a client support/paraplanning role to support the wider adviser team. He gained extensive experience by conducting detailed research and analysis to help design robust, tailored financial plans for clients. This provided Joe with a solid technical foundation and a comprehensive understanding of the financial planning process (from the inside out).

In 2017, Joe completed the diploma to become an Independent Financial Adviser. Since then, Joe has focused on building long term relationships with his clients to deliver clear, practical advice to not only individuals and families, but also to business owners across a wide range of financial planning areas.
