About - Sumanth Maharaj
Since beginning my career in financial services in 2011, I have been committed to helping clients achieve lasting financial security through trusted advice and meaningful long-term relationships. I started my career as a financial adviser at Sanlam before joining Absa in 2012, where I further developed my expertise and gained valuable experience across a broad range of financial planning disciplines. In 2014, I attained my Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation, marking an important milestone in my professional development. In 2018, I chose to leave the corporate environment to establish my own Consult franchise, where I became Franchise Principal and Financial Adviser. This move allowed me to provide truly personalised advice, placing my clients' goals and aspirations at the centre of every financial plan. I believe that every client has a unique story, and understanding that story is the foundation of good financial planning. By taking the time to understand each client's personal circumstances, ambitions and financial objectives, I develop tailored strategies that help them build, protect and preserve their wealth throughout every stage of life. Whether the goal is preparing for retirement, protecting loved ones, managing investments or creating a lasting financial legacy, I am committed to providing practical advice that gives clients confidence in their financial future.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my profession is seeing the positive difference sound financial planning can make. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping clients retire with confidence, protect their families against life's uncertainties and achieve financial goals they once thought were beyond reach. It is this opportunity to make a meaningful impact that continues to drive my passion for financial planning. Outside of work, I enjoy following football, cricket and rugby, keeping up to date with developments in the financial markets, and discovering new restaurants whenever the opportunity arises.
