Following the completion of his Economics degree at Loughborough University, Chris pursued a career within the corporate banking sector where he developed his skills and overall knowledge of the financial sector.
Despite enjoying the large corporate environment, Chris quickly acknowledged the value of personal relationships, and felt he was always destined to deliver a service with a personal feel which is what really adds value.
As a result, he then went on to further his studies, allowing him to pursue a career as an Independent Financial Adviser where he worked at a local firm gaining the vital knowledge and experience which would eventually lead to the inception of ACJ Financial Planning, where Chris was able to offer the bespoke, personal and high-quality service that he has always aspired to provide.
Chris has obtained Chartered Financial Planner Status which represents the highest qualified practitioners of the profession and demonstrates his professional commitment to raising standards of knowledge and technical competency.

Jodie’s career in finance began eight years ago, working initially as a part-time administrator within a local financial advice firm following the birth of her daughter.
Jodie continued to progress through the firm, developing a love for technical analysis, research and report writing and ultimately went on to study and gain the relevant qualifications to become a fully qualified financial adviser in 2020.
Following her studies, Jodie took on additional responsibilities including business compliance, alongside continuing to develop her technical knowledge as a Paraplanner for one of the senior advisers within the firm.
Jodie’s experience brings the necessary qualities to ensure that ACJ Financial Planning can operate successfully and ensures that our clients receive a first class financial planning service.
