Former CountPlus chief executive, Matthew Rowe, has joined financial planning and asset manager Kofkin Bond & Co.

He would take up a role as chair of the advisory board, having departed CountPlus in February 2022.

The firm, based in Melbourne, was described as a “multi-faceted and diverse financial services and consulting company”.

Rowe spent five years as chief executive and managing director of CountPlus and was a former chair of the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) and as a director of the former Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA).

Kofkin Bond said: “Matthew has a proven 20+ year track record as a CEO within ASX-listed and private companies. He has a “founder/owner-led” approach to business and believes acting in the client’s best interest is also in the interest of shareholder

“As Kofkin Bond & Co continually expands as a multi-faceted and diverse financial services and consulting company, having someone of Matthew's calibre to help ‘steer the ship’ will be integral to our growth.”

His role at CountPlus was taken over by Hugh Humphrey from 1 July, 2022.
