About

I have been working in finance and client services since at least 2012, most recently as a Wealth Planning Assistant at Canaccord Wealth starting in 2026. My experience spans roles in investment management, accounting assistance, and customer-facing positions across Glasgow, Dundee, and beyond. My work involves using financial platforms like Xplan, Nucleus, and Microsoft Office to prepare client reports, manage data, and ensure regulatory compliance including AML and CASS. I have built trackers and models for company-wide use and handled client onboarding for various account types. Additionally, I have experience with bookkeeping software such as Xero and have managed logistics and customer service in fast-paced environments.

What I'm looking for

With my degrees in finance, I'm initially looking within financial services. Although failing this, I'm looking to expand my horizons into other markets and potentially a whole new role/industry
