Operating under the existing FMP Group name, the new financial planning company will have funds under administration of $88 million and about 1000 clients.
Included among the services it will offer are lifestyle planning, specialist taxation ad-vice, training programs and superannuation expertise.
Business development manager Bill Featherston says the move combines the two companies’ skills sets, while, at the same time, adds scale.

New directors include Featherston, former Lonsdale representative Jack Pearce and part time lecturer and tax expert Alex Wong.
