Scottish Financial Planning firm Acumen has added five new Financial Planners and paraplanners to its Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh and Glasgow offices.

Also based in Aberdeen, Isla Leask has been promoted from paraplanner to Associate Financial Planner. She has been with the firm for nine years.

Nicola Doohan, recruitment & development manager from Acumen Financial Planning said: “It’s a great feeling to be expanding our teams throughout Scotland. Having new employees on board who come from a variety of backgrounds will be beneficial not only for our teams but the clients we assist with daily.”
