“I particularly look forward to utilising and sharing my knowledge, skills, and experiences from over 35 years in financial services (alongside the Right DA Club team) to deliver, develop and enhance the existing compliance and regulatory service offering for new and existing members.

“This is an exciting time to be joining The Right DA Club and I hope to play a significant part in its future business growth plans.”

Chelsea Kiefert, head of DA at The Right DA Club, said: “Our compliance solutions are a central part of our proposition and Steven’s experience in this area is second to none.

“In a world where regulation continues to shift, and the responsibilities for advisory practices become ever greater, we know that DA firms want the backing, resource and support of quality clubs and experienced individuals in order to navigate through these waters.

“Steven is a fantastic addition to the team and I know he will be a huge benefit to all those firms who use us for their regulatory and compliance needs."
