Jim Gilligan

Jim Gilligan is a very experienced and well rounded fiduciary advisory that certainly stands out as a leader in the private wealth fiduciary space. Jim has the ability to take complex situations and deliver solutions to clients in a straightforward manner having consulted with appropriate specialists. As a good leader he is able to weigh up the pros and cons of given situations and take a decision. Jim's decisiveness combined with vision has been a key driver in the growth of the Carey Trustee business.

I worked with Jim on his leadership journey at Carey as he inspired and led his team to transform the business. Jim has a genuine desire to put his people at the centre of the business' strategy for growth, ensuring that values are more than just words on walls. This requires vision, courage, tenacity, clarity of communication, the ability to identify and harness talent, agile thinking and a sophisticated sense of timing. Jim possesses these qualities, skills that he applies with passion to the Carey team and clients. He asks insightful questions, quickly grasps concepts and sees solutions to complex problems. In our working partnership, Jim has managed the unusual balance of both allowing me the autonomy to pursue his objectives whilst maintaining a touch-base level of control, qualities that he also brings to client relationships. As a result, the business has changed in culture, with a clear vision for the future. Values are at the centre of colleague and client relationships, attracting new talent and clients to Carey. In this review, I can comment confidently on Jim's communication and interpersonal skills, less so on the quality of his advice and not at all on fees (but a rating on each is required for this review).
