"By unlocking the transformative power of smart personal financial advice, I believe we can make a real social impact...enhancing the advice industry and the financial education of clients," she said.
Avocado chief executive, Gerardo Barranquero, agreed that the partnership was a mutual opportunity to demonstrate advanced technological enhancement, as well as being able to join the rapid evolution of digital finance advice.
"We expect...to continue revolutionising the financial planning sector with intelligent and intuitive advice solutions," he said.
"We are pleased to partner with Adviser Intelligence in the next phase of business."
