Brisbane-based financial services firm, MGD, has welcomed the new year with the appointment of Graeme Del Favero to its wealth management team.
Del Favero was a Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner, and had over 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry.
The firm’s chief executive, John Barton, said Del Favero had a solid and credible reputation, and his appointment would allow the firm to continue providing clients with advice and be positioned for future growth.
Del Favero said MGD’s integrated approach to advice attracted him to the role, and he was keen to work across the wealth management, tax, risk and succession, self-managed superannuation fund and corporate finance advisory teams.
