Get to know Dan
Dan is a Chartered and Certified financial planner and a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society, with more than 15 years of experience supporting clients on their journey towards achieving their life aspirations and financial independence.
He specialises in guiding clients through life’s financial ups and downs, taking the time to understand their motivations, ambitions, and desires. From there, he develops a personalised financial plan designed to fulfil these discussed goals; a strategy that constantly evolves as circumstances and aspirations change. His aim is to help clients work towards leading the life they want.
Outside of work, Dan enjoys travelling and experiencing new cultures with his young family. He also enjoys cooking and, by his own admission, spending perhaps a little too much time on the golf course.
In the spotlight
A skill I’d love to master is:
Learning to speak Polish fluently. My wife is Polish, and despite ongoing efforts, I’m still very much a work in progress – but I’m determined to get there!
The biggest misconception about financial planning is:
The biggest misconception about financial planning is that it’s only about investments. While investments are important, financial planning is much broader. It’s about helping you achieve your lifetime goals, whatever they may be, by creating a clear, actionable roadmap for your finances.
What do you like doing in the evenings/on the weekends?
Evenings are for slowing the pace. I enjoy cooking (occasionally with more confidence than ability), spending time with my young family, and properly switching off from the day.
At weekends, family comes first – though I try to carve out time for golf, where optimism tends to outweigh performance.
