“The FPA Awards celebrate the commitment, talent and passion of outstanding financial planners and practices, and recognise the role they play in bettering the lives of Australians,” she says.
Abood also points to the recently released Value of Advice research which showed that 95% of advised Australians identified additional benefits received beyond their finances, including things like mental health, family life and social life.
The winners of the 2022 FPA Awards will be announced live at the FPA Professionals Congress event on 23-24 November in Sydney.
