COUNT FINANCIAL LIMITED
Date: April 2020
Position: Head of Professional Standards

Count Financial has added former IOOF head of compliance and professional standards to their leadership team.

Phil Creswell will take over as head of professional standards for Count Financial later this month.

Creswell sat on the FPA professional conduct committee and was a member of the FPA committee to the board of the Financial Ombudsman Service. He was involved in writing the FPA's first code of ethics and professional standards.

"Phil has been a passionate advocate for quality financial advice and brings a wealth of experience and technical skills, but importantly he has strong people skills," CountPlus CEO, Matthew Rowe, said.

"He fits our family photograph. This is important as we build our team and our culture around our values as an organisation. Phil is someone that brings gravitas to this mission critical role."

In addition to his responsibility for more than 700 financial advisers with IOOF, Creswell has held positions with KPMG in London and Price Waterhouse.
