About
I am a qualified Chartered Financial Planner and Fellow of the Personal Finance Society (FPFS). I am also a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP); having served on the Scottish Branch Committee as Treasurer. I attained the STEP Diploma with distinction and has an intimate knowledge of Wills & Executry matters. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and Client Strategy Director at Mearns & Company, an Edinburgh based team of financial advisers and employee benefits consultants. We provide financial planning and employee benefits advice to our clients. Since 1994 we’ve been helping to change people’s lives for the better. We help individuals with their financial planning and employers with their employee benefits. We have been awarded the Gold Standard for Independent Financial Advice ten times since 2009. As a team of multi-award winning wealth management and employee benefits experts, we develop strategies to help you to achieve your goals. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and my children. I am also happy with a guitar in my hands, or a craft beer.
