FPSA signs up with Encore



Financial Planning Services Australia (FPSA) has engaged consultative firm The Encore Group to drive business growth and FOFA (Future of Financial Advice) readiness.
According to the boutique dealer group, Encore will be rolling out a number of specialist practice management programs exclusively designed for the group.
"This investment into our business focuses on our position to realign the FPSA business for growth," FPSA general manager Simon Micaleff said.
The programs will focus on five key modules covering pricing, service offering and segmentation, and client value propositions and implementation, the group stated.
"The programs are extremely important to ensure our practices continue to grow and prosper in a post-FOFA environment."
The arrangement with Encore follows on from FPSA's announcement of a restructure of its executive management team.
