Inch.com.au has launched a website offering financial planners and their clients on-line financial planning advice, legal and accounting services.
Members will also be able to evaluate, select and register from a suite of 3000 su-perannuation and health fund products.
Delivery of the service is being assisted by the Financial Planning Association, Garvan Financial Planning, Cannex, Law Partners, Dunhill Madden and Butler and Honan Insurance.
John O’Shea, CEO of Inch says the site was born out of the company’s recognition of the impact of imminent member choice legislation.
“Organisations whatever their size will in the near future have to offer superannua-tion fund choice to their employees.”
O’Shea argues that the internet is the perfect vehicle for providing financial plan-ners and their clients with a suite of financial services. “We not only make it easy for people to consider their personal financial options, we also go a long way to-wards demystifying the process.”
