In today's episode we meet Harmy Bains who is a trained and chartered financial advisor.

Harmy talks to us about how he specialises in investment from his personal background, he refers to being a financial advisor as being something like “a gp”.

When Harmy worked in investment management Harmy wanted to be more client facing rather than in the background so he decided to throw himself in the deep end to see if it was something he was capable of doing.

He did all his qualifications as an investment manager which took him to a decent level of qualifications but in order for him to transition over to financial advisor he had to pick up “gap fill stuff” to then become chartered. Harmy said it took him about ten years to become chartered.

Harmy says his interest was sparked when he was 12, due to his aunt getting married to an accountant and he drove a BMW M3, and that made Harmy want that.

It was such a pleasure speaking with Harmy and hearing his story.
