He holds both the Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Planner designations. He is also a Fellow of the CISI. He is also the chair of the CISI Financial Planning Forum.

Mr Moores is CEO of Raymond James and holds Chartered Fellow status (Chartered FSCI).

He started his career with Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, Frankfurt and London where he worked for 10 years before joining DAB Bank. He joined Raymond James Investment Services in 2004 as managing director before becoming CEO in 2005.
