Reflecting on Becoming a Financial Planner


Category: financial planning & Life Planning

It has been four months since I joined Serenity as a trainee financial planner. As I reflect on my journey, I am filled with a sense of pride and purpose. I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of this company, which values its clients and employees equally.

Growing up, my father’s career in finance had a significant impact on me. His passion for helping people achieve their financial goals inspired me to pursue a career in this field. I knew that I wanted to follow in his footsteps and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

When I joined Serenity, I was struck by the company’s commitment to excellence and integrity. It was evident that they put their client’s needs first, always striving to provide the best possible solutions. I was immediately drawn to their approach, which emphasized building strong, lasting relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

As a trainee financial planner, I have been fortunate enough to work with some interesting clients. Each interaction has been an opportunity to learn and grow. I have discovered that my role goes beyond just providing technical expertise. It is about connecting with people, understanding their unique circumstances, and helping them achieve their financial aspirations. Another thing that I appreciate about Serenity is its focus on continuous learning and development. They encourage us to stay informed about the latest financial trends and best practices, providing us with the resources we need to succeed. In addition, I feel supported knowing that there is genuine camaraderie particularly prevalent within team meetings.

As I look ahead to my future as a financial planner, I feel excited and motivated. I know that there will be challenges along the way, but I am ready to face them head-on. I am confident that my passion for this profession, combined with my technical knowledge and personal touch, will enable me to create a real difference in people’s lives. I find the greatest satisfaction in knowing that I could potentially play a role in helping clients achieve financial security and peace of mind.

Reflecting on the above, I realise that my journey to becoming a financial planner will undoubtedly be challenging but I know that the rewards will outweigh the unavoidable struggles. I feel grateful for having the platform and opportunity to make a positive impact on the world. I am excited to see what the future holds, and I am committed to continuing my growth and development as a trainee financial planner.
