FPSA back-office moves to Melbourne
Financial Planning Services Australia (FPSA) will complete the relocation of its administration and operational head office from Queensland to Melbourne early next month.
The dealer group believes the relocation will provide cost savings through the merging of a number of key functions with its parent company, netwealth Investments, such as IT infrastructure, web support, product and technical support and marketing and communications.
FPSA chief executive Mark Ryan said the relocation decision had followed a strategic review undertaken by the dealer group last year.
