Over more than 20 years, Colin has built a solid portfolio of clients from a variety of social and business backgrounds, with equally varying financial advice and investment expectations. They draw upon management experience gained within a worldwide banking group, from his time as an Independent Financial Advisor and, in more recent times, as Senior Financial Planning Manager at the Glasgow offices of Forvis Mazars, the international, integrated and independent financial services firm, specialising in audit, accountancy, advisory, and tax services. Over the years he has established that chemistry and trust are the central components of every successful working relationship. In these regards, he is a naturally relaxed, open, yet confidential and informative style, which helps demystify jargon, provides clarity and enables you to feel confident in interpreting and adopting the financial advice he is able to offer, as appropriate to your ambitions. Working within the network, his clients also enjoy access to the most extensive resources - brilliant minds, ground-breaking technology and representation in over 100 countries worldwide. This is important, because “where you start out from, is invariably not where you end up”, so you’ll find it comforting to know Colin, together with his Forvis Mazars colleagues, can support you at every stage of your life journey, wherever that takes you. Forvis Mazars has won numerous awards for quality and service over the past decade, including a place amongst the Top Financial Planning Firms named by the FT Adviser.
