Infocus acquires EKO Financial
Infocus Money Management has grown its Queensland footprint with the addition of EKO Financial.
Infocus stated that the addition of EKO to its national planner network had bolstered its Queensland operation, adding that its national reach now sits at 75 offices.
The addition is part of a national growth strategy, which has seen the opening of 15 new offices nationwide in the last financial year.
Infocus’ national sales manager, Tony Sandercock, said EKO was a highly respected planning firm, adding that its directors Jeff Ebsworthy and James Kidd were a “fantastic” addition.
