Female Excellence in Advice Award finalists announced

The award recognises female financial advisers who have made a significant contribution to their profession, the community and clients – with a winner to be announced at the upcoming AFA conference.

“We are delighted to have received an amazing number of entries for the Award again this year,” said AFA chief executive Brad Fox.

“Boosting the number of female advisers in the profession is essential. It is a well-established fact that Australian women face significant challenges when trying to grow and protect their wealth and many feel more comfortable seeking advice from another woman.”

The Award finalists are:

• Adrienne Rush, Bendigo Financial Planning Ltd
• Dominique Bergel-Grant, Leapfrog Financial Pty Ltd
• Catherine Robson, Affinity Private Pty Ltd
• Eleanor Dartnall, Dartnall Advisers Pty Ltd
