Further to attending the University of Aberdeen, Rhian fell in love with the Granite City and joined Acumen Financial Planning in Aberdeen in January 2006.

Joining the support team, she trained as a Paraplanner, then became a Financial Planner in 2011, a Director of The Financial Planning Group in March 2022, and then a Director of Acumen Financial Planning in 2023. Rhian also gained her Certified Financial Planner status in 2023.

Working in all areas of Financial Planning, Rhian specialises in our Family Wealth services, Estate Planning, Succession Planning, Intergenerational Planning, Tax Planning, Trust Taxation and Investment Planning.

As a mum of two young children, Rhian’s time outside of work revolves around family time and her children’s activities rather than her own. However, when time allows, she enjoys cooking and playing the piano.
