Recently, our CEO and Founder, Michael Misiti, joined his peers at the Principals Community Forum in Queensland, as part of an invitation to share his personal and practical insights into why investing in the next generation of financial advisers is one of the smartest long-term strategies a business can make.
For nearly 20 years, Michael has been busy cultivating the future of financial advisers from the ground up, here at Smart Financial. He’s done this, by thoroughly designing a professional pathway to rigorously train and develop University students as Cadets, who work with our team of Directors and established Advisers, within a highly supervised and monitored mentoring space.
By prioritising staff development and creating clear pathways to equity, Michael has not only built capability from within but secured and retained exceptional talent in a way that it both provides local talent with professional opportunities and stability for clients as they journey into retirement.
Most importantly, clients get to work with advisers who are as ethical, as they are competent, while also always demonstrating a high level of integrity.
