Their philosophy of "culture before cash" and genuine desire to make sure that business owners get the best possible fit and overall deal means I recommend them highly.

Ben took the time to listen, understand what we wanted to achieve and provide insight from his years of experience. I feel comfortable that we are being guided by someone who knows what they are doing and, more importantly, listens to what we want and does what he says he’ll do.

Vicki and the team provided first-class support when we were purchasing a business. They have a great ability to see the commerciality and be open in their dealings with clients. This is very welcome at what is a stressful time, whether you are selling or buying a business.”

Rachael was a great support in the identification and recruitment of financial planning talent. She understood the market and took time to understand the calibre of individuals I was looking for.

We had a great experience working with Ben and Izzy on strategic marketing workshops. They were a huge support from start to finish, thanks to their talented facilitation and organisational skills. Their knowledge and understanding of the financial planning profession was a big bonus too.
