The financial planning technology firm is eyeing further strategic acquisitions as it reports a 50 per cent double-digit uplift across the group in FY2023–24.
DASH Technology Group saw a 50.3 per cent group revenue growth in the 2023–24 financial year, with platform revenue up 55.5 per cent and software revenue up 32.7 per cent compared with the previous financial year.
The firm also recorded a 100 per cent expansion in its institutional client base over the 12-month period.
According to DASH, its client-led and adviser-led digital advice tools, which aim to bridge the advice gap for institutional businesses and advice practices, were a key driver of its software revenue growth.
DASH chief executive Andrew Whelan said: “DASH’s strong growth this year reflects our commitment to innovation and integration in the financial advice space. Our goal is to make reliable financial advice more accessible to those who need it most, and that means leveraging technology to help bridge the advice gap that continues to be a pressing concern.”
Speaking to ifa, the CEO signalled its inorganic growth plans on the horizon through additional M&A deals.
“Given we’re the only true end-to-end advice solution, we have a deep pipeline that we will be onboarding over 12 months. We will also continue to look at strategic acquisitions over the next 12 months,” Whelan said.
In July, it announced the acquisition of Integrated Portfolio Solutions, a portfolio administration solution with $10.6 billion in funds under advice (FUA) that acts as a “whole-of-wealth”, non-custodial platform and removes the burden of portfolio administration.
The deal is set to grow DASH’s FUA to more than $15 billion and will enable the firm to service the entire market of clients, ranging from retail clients to high-net-worth individuals and family offices.
Whelan continued: “DASH’s growth strategy has been, and will continue to be, centred around delivering the most complete and scalable solution in the market.
“This includes delivering a digital advice solution to enable industry funds to cost-effectively service their members and allowing financial advisers to service low to medium balance clients easily, aiding the government’s initiative to improve financial literacy.”
