I used the skills acquired at Navigator Business Services at acsis. Acsis was a boutique administration and investment management business. Their unique approach to financial planning was the first in South Africa. It redesigned the way advisors built financial plans for clients. This was namely ‘ lifestyle financial planning’. Originating in the 90’2 from IPAC in Australia it was a first for the South African market. My role was to upskill advisors using this new financial planning process. The role also involved product integration, business support and training and systems integration. Having practice management experiences also helped me to identify strength’s and weaknesses in these businesses. Show less
