You’re no doubt well-used to meeting regularly with your Emery Little financial planner to review your plans, aspirations and investments. You hopefully regard him or her as a highly knowledgeable expert, with years of experience and insight to bring to your portfolio.
But have you ever wondered about the team behind your financial planner? The other experts beavering away in the Emery Little offices (or currently at home!), whose knowledge and experience is instrumental in supporting your planner and delivering the trusted advice and service you receive?
We thought we’d give you a little ‘behind the scenes’ insight into who makes up this crack team – from the business managers to the paraplanners and administrative staff.
