Rebecca Scardarella

Operations Director, Compliance Officer

My journey

I will have been in the financial services profession for 25 years and joined CBW in 2018.

I’ve worked as an administrator, personal assistant, paraplanner, and managed many teams at a variety of different businesses within the financial planning space. That includes large corporates like Barclays, Standard Life and BDO, to small start-ups.

My specialism is operations but also include compliance and regulation, pensions and people. I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing people who have helped shape my career and have given me the confidence to try new things.

My role is to look after the business and the people within it. And to make sure all our clients are looked after to the highest standards too.

What I enjoy most about my job

The variety and the people. I have to wear different hats on different days and sometimes from one call to the next.

About me

What’s your favourite way to spend a day off?

Dog walk, yoga, spa, finished off at a nice restaurant, a glass of red, with my husband.

Do you support any teams?

Team CBW FP daily! Why? Because they’re worth it!

What’s your favourite part of the world?

Anywhere there is an adventure. I love exploring the world in the camper with the dogs but also enjoy a flop and drop somewhere tropical.

What one thing can instantly make your day better?

Food.

What’s at the top of your bucket list?

Seeing as much of the world as possible.

What’s the most valuable thing you’ve learnt doing your job?

Nothing is impossible and don’t be scared to do something. Sometimes you have to do it wrong to get it right. Oh, and most importantly never stop asking questions.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Do what makes you happy, life’s too short to be anything else.

What do you like about working for CBW Financial Planning?

The team - they are brilliant. Everyone brings something to the business and makes it a great place to work.
