I’m Lysanne, a Financial Planner with abrdn Financial Planning. We offer free planning support and specialist financial advice across the UK, to help you make the most of your money for your life.

I accepted a job in financial services after leaving school whilst I decided what I wanted to do ‘when I grew up’. I quickly realised I had already found it!

I enjoyed working with numbers and people so it was the perfect fit and I found myself studying and doing various roles until I began advising. Latterly I have chosen to specialise in retirement advice which is so rewarding as I help people daily who have saved all their lives for this moment.

Outside of work I enjoy rollerskating and love cooking - as long as it’s a recipe with a picture! Perhaps it’s something about the job but I’m a fan of a spreadsheet and am really interested by genealogy.
