Hi everyone! ๐
I'm Rainier, your Community Manager here on Advisely, based out of Sydney.
I've been around financial advice for a couple of years now โ with my first foray into this world working with the Financial Advice Association Australia (FAAA). I got to do so many exciting things for this awesome profession โ from producing CPD webinar programs, and coordinating major events like the Roadshow and Congress, to running a scholarship program to bring more women into the profession! I'm also a proud client of a financial adviser ๐
My fun fact is that I'm a proud father to my cat, Simon ๐ฑ
