At work

Allan was recently awarded the Personal Finance Society’s Retirement and Later Life Specialist of the Year. There is no higher accolade than being recognised as a personal finance award winner by your professional body. Award winners and finalists act as ambassadors for our profession, and we’re proud to have Allan as part of our team.
