Hartsfield empower their employees by making you feel trusted and give you the resources to be able to provide a good service. The dedication and motivation of the employees at Hartsfield stood out to me and everyone works together to achieve the best outcome.

What matters most to Ann about her specific role?

I enjoy supporting advisers to provide a high level of service to their clients. It’s fulfilling to play a part in finding solutions to help clients achieve their financial goals. The paraplanning role is varied and you can build different plans by utilising research and analytical skills. I enjoy learning and there is always a new topic to discover or tax changes to understand.

What matters most to Ann outside of work?

I enjoy travelling to experience new places, learning about different cultures and trying local cuisines. I have a Beagle called Dexter who takes up a lot of my time outside of work as he is very energetic and loves attention. I enjoy walking, swimming and horse riding to keep active and have recently joined a yoga group.
