AFS surpasses business and recruitment milestone
Australian Financial Services Group Ltd (AFS) has announced that 16 new practices have joined the dealer group since the beginning of the year. As a result, the fast growing dealership has surpassed a significant business objective and milestone.
The latest practices joining AFS brings the number of advisers in the group to over 200 operating from 100 practices across Australia.
According to AFS, its recruiting growth will continue at a steady pace for the remainder of the year, however, they carefully target and seek advisers and practices that will fit into the entrepreneurial culture of the group.
They are particularly heartened as many of the new practices are referrals from its existing network rather than active recruiting activities, thereby automatically fitting the AFS culture.
This significant growth of AFS practices represented an endorsement of the value proposition the dealer group offered planning practices and advisers, particularly those looking for a dynamic organization that was committed to their financial, operating, professional and personal success.
Furthermore, AFS is currently in the process of revising and enhancing the dealer group’s extensive professional, personal and business development programs in response to practice managers’ feedback for initiatives that will assist them to address crucial issues such as succession planning and recruiting younger advisers to their respective practices.
AFS’s recruiting success is based on a solid foundation of obtaining the right quality and calibre of practices. For those established practice managers that are seeking business longevity and growth, AFS has the capabilities, programs, structure and environment to support and realise those objectives.
