Chartered Financial Planner
“I’ve heard a lot of good things about Acumen Financial Planning and their approach to financial advice and creating the best outcomes for their clients. I like the genuine positive impact we make on client’s lives. The focus isn’t about selling them a product – it’s about analysing their circumstances and aims and mapping out how best these can be achieved. It’s an aspirational approach to advice that blends current client reality with their desired future.”
