Christian joined Smith and Wardle in 2020, where he discovered his passion for financial planning and embraced the fixed fee charging model. Committed to helping clients achieve their financial goals, Christian believes in the importance of early financial education and enjoys engaging with the younger generations of his clients to impart lasting financial principles. He is driven to continually enhance his skills and is on track to become a chartered financial planner. Christian values being part of a forward-thinking company that shares his dedication to financial planning. In addition to his professional role, Christian is a dedicated trustee of the Hitchin Youth Trust, a charity focused on supporting young people. As a trustee, and member of the investment committee he manages the Trust's investments to fund initiatives that provide rent-free spaces for youth clubs and offer financial assistance to local organisations and individuals. The Trust also grants university bursaries and start-up funds for new clubs, fostering community growth and opportunity. Christian thrives on the dynamic nature of his work, relishing the daily challenges and opportunities to meet interesting people who benefit from his expertise. At Smith & Wardle, we understand that financial planning is about you and what you are trying to achieve. We spend time understanding your goals, what drives you, and what you want your future to look like, not just listing what you have and what you owe. Your aims are our aims. We specialise in creating financial plans and providing financial advice to guide you through life’s twists and turns. As independent financial planners, we listen to what’s important to you. Our transparent fixed fee structure separates us from other advisers and means our relationship is completely focused on you.
