GOH KIAT GUAN
COWEALTH ADVISORY GROUP
I started my career as a financial consultant in January 2016, shortly after completing my national service. My journey into this field was somewhat unconventional—I was studying to be a Mechanical Engineer and had little knowledge of what a career in financial advisory entailed. Driven by faith rather than information, I decided to take the leap, guided by a desire to explore new opportunities. This step of faith has since unfolded into a rewarding and enriching career, teaching me not only the intricacies of financial planning but also personal growth and resilience.
One of my earliest and most impactful memories was accompanying my director, Jazlyn Koh, to a meeting with a business owner. Despite my novice pitching skills, the client recognised my passion and commitment and chose to support me not only with a substantial premium but also by referring other business owners to me. This gesture was a significant boost early in my career and reinforced my dedication to this profession.
My career has been profoundly influenced by several key figures: my direct manager, Andy Hu, my boss, CO, and my mentor, Jazlyn Koh. They have been instrumental in shaping not only my professional skills and sales strategies but also my attitude towards life and business. Their guidance has imbued me with the mindset, skill set, and habits necessary to succeed in this competitive industry.
Being a financial consultant is, without doubt, an evergreen role. The fundamental role that money plays in both achieving dreams and solving problems makes this career indispensable. Financial consultants are crucial across the globe, not just in Singapore, because of their role in helping people manage their finances to meet various life goals.
New consultants should prioritise finding good mentors and building a supportive network of colleagues. It’s essential to be resilient, teachable, and open to learning from failures. These qualities are critical in navigating the complexities and challenges of the financial advisory field.
