Lesley MacWilliam CFP®
Certified Financial Planner
“Being a Professional Financial Planner requires a Professional Code of Conduct, applied systematically, and I make long-term income based on the quality of my advice and service to my client.”
After graduating with a BSc degree from WITS, Lesley became a Product Manager for a medical equipment company. Later, she was headhunted and she set up a closed-circuit television equipment company of which she was the General Manager. 16 months later, the company was successfully sold to a listed group.
While raising two young children, Lesley started studying again and was encouraged to put her practical business skills to good use in the financial services industry. She joined Southern Life in 1992 and was ultimately promoted to an Executive Consultant.
In October 1999, Lesley left Southern Life and became an independent Financial Advisor, starting her own company, Financial Future Planners cc. She obtained the CFP® qualification through the University of the Free State in 2006. Financial Future Planners CC is a registered financial services provider.
Lesley is FAIS compliant and has completed both the RE5 for intermediaries and the RE1 for Key Individuals.
“My work is about understanding how a person feels about their finances- what is important to them- and then putting together plans that work in the longer term.”
