If you are a client of Jane Smith Financial Planning, or know one, you’ll be aware that we aim to provide the highest standards of advice and service to everyone you work with. As a family business with more than 25 years’ experience, we are proud that we’re small enough to care yet big enough to deal with your wealth needs, so that you can achieve your financial goals.
For us, it’s about providing you with the peace of mind you want around your finances, so that you can get on with the business of living life to the full. Maintaining those values and core beliefs is the most important thing to everyone within the team, which is why we are always extremely careful when we look to recruit a new member to it.
With this in mind, we are delighted to welcome Thomas McGinn, who joins us as our trainee financial planner. Thomas has already shown a huge commitment to providing the highest quality advice by obtaining the Chartered Institute of Insurers level four diploma.
This means he has successfully passed six demanding exams covering pensions, investments, savings, financial protection and taxation, which demonstrates his dedication to providing excellent advice.
We believe this commitment to providing a first-class service and helping clients achieve the lifestyle they want through excellent financial advice makes him the perfect fit for our business. But, we’re pushing him to study more with advanced examinations already scheduled into his development plan.
As you could be talking to Thomas at some point in the future, we thought we would ask him a few questions on your behalf, so that you can get to know him a little better. Read on to discover more about Thomas’s role within Jane Smith Financial Planning, why he chose to join us and what he enjoys doing in his spare time.
