The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) has named Victorian adviser, Kylie George, as its 2015 Rising Star.
George was chosen from a field of six finalists at the AFA’s opening session at its 2015 National Adviser Conference in Cairns.
The finalists were Adrian Patty from AP Financial Solutions, Mark Richardson from Duncan Financial Advisers, Declan Doolan from Mr Insurance, Katherine Cairns from Peel Wealth Financial Planning and Corey Wastle from Verse Wealth.
The Award is given to advisers who have been working for three years or less and have shown both a commitment to education and a valuable contribution to their profession and their community. The award, which has been running for 11 years, is part of the AFA’s Genxt initiative and is supported by ANZ Wealth.
AFA chief executive Brad Fox said George has been “on a quest to be the very best financial adviser she can be”.
“She provides great advice to clients in the Harvest Wealth practice, has invested above and beyond in terms of personal and professional development, is an incredible networker and is passionate about her chosen career,” Fox said.
“It is people like Kylie who will ensure the future of our profession and the vital role it plays in providing great advice for more Australians.”
