Daniel Flowerdew had a successful 18-year career in financial services, holding prominent roles in sales and trading at tier 1 institutions, such as Bank of America and State Street. 


However, feeling capped and limited in his career progression, he and his now business partner sought for more control over their future and decided to set up their own wealth management business. After two years of thorough due diligence, they partnered with SJP and brought their entrepreneurial vision to life. 
Daniel now co-runs a successful wealth management business, capitalising on his existing network he built during his time in banking and within various sports communities. He often leans into the support and resources available from SJP, growing his business using by tapping into the talent pool of SJP’s Academy. Daniel both refers clients to the training programme and recruits graduates for his multi-adviser firm. 


As a sport enthusiast, he focuses on building partnerships with sports organisations, helping athletes transition from their sports careers to become financial advisers. Daniel has found a new passion and fulfilment in his role as an adviser - helping individuals and businesses and growing his business.  


Starting your own business may seem ‘like jumping off the edge of a cliff’ and ‘moving to zero’ - unsure where clients will come from or how your business will grow. But, with SJP’s award-winning Academy, extensive resources readily available, and dedicated support teams, you’ll have all the tools you need to succeed.
