Julie Riley

Operations and Compliance Manager

I’ve been in financial services for more than 32 years. Originally starting in pensions at Royal Sun Alliance, before moving to Scottish Life. I was fortunate enough to join Pavis in 2017.

After beginning in admin and paraplanning, I’ve moved on to managing staff and office, as well as developing into a compliance role.

I currently manage office facilities and staff, payroll and other similar duties. As well as this, I also manage some paraplanners and operations and compliance support staff. I ensure accounting and reporting is kept up to date and that we are following compliance.
