Derek is a founding member of Financial Architects and has worked in the financial services business since 1993. Derek has several relevant financial qualifications but believes qualifications are not enough, clients don’t really get too excited about qualifications. Derek spends most of his day meeting with clients in the areas of Lifestyle Financial Planning and retirement planning.

At Financial Architects, our job is to try to help our clients to be Financially ok, to never run out of money no matter what happens, enabling them to live their lives the way they want.
Financial planning isn’t about crunching numbers – It’s about helping people achieve their dreams and aspirations to get a better return on life.
That’s why we take a “lifestyle” approach to financial planning. Our process is to build your future based not just on your future plans but on how you want to live as you work towards these goals.
This is the essence of who we are and why we do what we do.
