Ford and Scott Financial Planning joins Paragem AFSL



Tasmanian-based Ford and Scott Financial Planning has moved under the financial services licensing arrangement provided by Paragem.
The Tasmanian company's move to Paragem was confirmed by Paragem managing director, Ian Knox this week.
He said the move meant Ford and Scott had resigned from coverage under the Westpac-owned Securitor AFSL.
Knox said the move by the Tasmanian company meant the Paragem AFSL now covered 13 practices accounting for more than $1.5 billion in funds under advice.
