Get to know Melanie
Joining Flying Colours back in January 2018 was one of those career decisions that just felt right—and it’s been a brilliant journey ever since. With more than two decades in the financial planning profession, I have had the chance to build deep experience across both administration and paraplanning, and I still genuinely love what I do.
One of the most rewarding parts of my role is supporting the team around me. Whether it’s offering training, sharing insights, or helping refine our processes, I am always excited to contribute to the way we grow and evolve. We are constantly looking for smarter, clearer, more client‑friendly ways to work, because at the end of the day, our goal is simple: to produce reports that are not only informative, but genuinely easy for every client to understand.
It is been a fulfilling journey so far—and the best part is knowing there is always more to learn, improve, and create together.
Outside of work
Outside of work, I am all about the simple joys that make life feel full. Give me a cosy restaurant and something new on the menu, and I am in my element. I love catching up with family, heading out for long walks, and spending time with my dogs—who, if I am honest, tend to run the show. Those everyday moments are what keep me grounded and inspired.
