As a financial advisor with 17 years of experience within the financial services sector, Robert is registered as a representative at Houston-Brown and Jackson (Pty) Ltd T/A Wealth Craft and certified with the medical schemes council of South Africa. His training and experience has equipped him to offer sound financial planning advice to both corporates and individuals.

“More than just the sum of my experience, I always strive to build a relationship with my clients that allows me to better implement the six steps of financial planning, as outlined by the Financial Planning Institute. This is a holistic and ongoing process, which assists in designing a financial strategy for my clients that can help them realise long-term financial security, and provide them with the freedom to achieve their dreams and life goals.

Financial decisions can be complicated, but I aim to make financial wisdom accessible to all my clients, regardless of age or experience by presenting the facts in layman’s terms. I can assist with short term and long term financial goals, in fact, many of my clients are medical doctors who have been with me since they were interns and are now successful specialists in their field. Some of my corporate business relationships have spanned 19 years, proving that customer satisfaction and sustainability really do go hand in hand.
My business ethos is simple. Be trustworthy in order to build trust.

“The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is the key professional and personal competency of our time.” – Stephen Covey
