Dan is a skilled and motivated financial planner with an established history working in the financial services industry. He now runs his own firm, Smith & Co Chartered Financial Planning, where the focus is on providing independent, tailored, financial planning to clients. Dan joined Thomas & Co Financial Services in 2011, which was subsequently acquired by Kingswood. Prior to this, Dan spent a year working in the Transition Support Team for Deutsche Bank’s prime brokerage department in New York. Outside of his career in finance, Dan spent a period of time volunteering at a children’s shelter in Rio de Janeiro. Dan gained his BSc in International Management at UMIST, which included a year at the National University of Singapore. He has subsequently achieved the Certificate in Securities and Investment, plus the Investment Management Certificate, and LIBF Level 6 Advanced Diploma for Financial Advisers, which confers chartered status. When not helping clients, most of his time is spent with his 2 children, with the occasional dog walk or bit of exercise thrown in for variety!
