Financial planning firm expands Scottish team

Acumen Financial Planning is expanding its Scottish team, with the addition of five new members of staff across the country and promotions within the Aberdeen and Glasgow offices.

The growth, which includes financial planners and paraplanners, comes as a result of increasing client demand and growth across all areas of the business.

The company has brought in new people in Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Additions to the Aberdeen workforce include associate financial planner Andrew Groseneill, associate financial planner Peter Hope, and trainee financial administrator Kieran McBeath.

Also based in Aberdeen, Isla Leask - who has been with the firm for nine years - has been promoted from paraplanner to associate financial planner.

The new recruits also include Paul McCabe, a Chartered financial planner, who joins the Edinburgh team.

Laura Crowe, a Chartered financial planner based in Glasgow, has been promoted from training and competence supervisor to regional manager, while Pauline McKinlay joined the team in December as the new training and competence supervisor for the group.

Nicola Doohan, recruitment and development manager at Acumen, said: “It’s a great feeling to be expanding our teams throughout Scotland and recognising fantastic work with well-deserved promotions.

“At Acumen we are passionate about career progression and encourage our team to develop their learning.”

Acumen forms part of The Financial Planning Group and is currently hiring for a variety of roles across it offices, including administrator roles in Aberdeen and a financial planner in Elgin.
