The Advisers Association has announced that Bill Beimers has been appointed as its new Chair.
TAA CEO, Neil Macdonald says, in a statement, that Beimers has served on the TAA board as Vice Chair since 2020 and was also a board member of TAA’s forerunner, AMPFPA, from 2019.
He adds that Beimers is a practising financial adviser with more than 23 years’ experience in financial services “…and has expert knowledge of the industry, having worked from the ground up with financial institutions in the retail banking, insurance and advice sectors.”
Beimers is the founder and Managing Director of SEQ Advice, a Queensland-based financial advice and services practice, consisting of a team of financial advisers, tax practitioners and mortgage specialists.
Beimers says he is delighted to take over as the Chair of TAA, a non-profit, member-based association with a long history going back to before 1925.
“We will be working with and representing our members, and are committed to collaborating with other associations and key stakeholders to ensure Australian consumers can have access to quality, affordable advice, without reducing necessary consumer protections. We will also engage with the Government’s Quality Advice Review this year to remove unnecessary red-tape for advisers, enabling them to more efficiently service their clients.”
The TAA board is comprised of representatives from its member base – Authorised Representatives of AMP Financial Planning and Hillross Financial Services.
Hillross financial adviser, Craig Armstrong, is the immediate past Chair. He was the first Chair of the merged association.
