SJ Wealth was created in 2017, by Sarah-Jayne Ives. The Director and Independent Financial Adviser of the company. 

Having worked for many roles starting as a Tied Adviser for Eagle Star in 1996, varied employed roles with major Life Assurance companies and then finally as a self employed adviser working for herself since 2012 – Sarah-Jayne wanted to create her own brand of advising and bring new recruits to the industry, providing the training and insight that Sarah-Jayne has acquired over the years. Being one of the youngest to be recruited into the industry back in the 90s, Sarah-Jayne understands the challenges having ‘grown up’ in one of the most challenging industries in the financial sector that has seen and undertook so much change.
