Matthew Haigh

What is your average day like:‍

Based on a weekend – I’d start with coffee and breakfast while reading the news. Then it’s off to the gym or out on the golf course (weather permitting!). I’d head to the local rugby club to watch my team and catch up with old teammates (and sometimes clients!). Afterwards, I’d either host a dinner party or head out for a meal with friends. That said, I’m just as happy with a relaxed evening on the sofa in front of the TV.

What do you like most about your job?

I enjoy sitting down with clients to understand what their future looks like and sharing options they didn’t know were available. It’s rewarding to offer new insight that can genuinely impact their lives and help shape their financial future. Most people leave with a different perspective and more confidence in their decisions.

How long have you worked in Financial Services

I’ve worked in financial services for nearly 10 years—three years employed, followed by six years self-employed with Emerald.
