Melbourne based Wattle Partners, a self-licensed, boutique financial advisory firm has appointed Renato Manias as a senior financial adviser.
Manias joins Wattle Partners with a decade of financial planning experience under his belt, working across several boutique financial planning practices in Victoria.
Jamie Nemtsas, Partner and Director at Wattle Partners says: “We welcome Renato to our group at a time when the financial planning sector is undergoing an overhaul. We know that our clients today want good advice — which can be more easily measured.
“Our firm continues its growth trajectory and having exceptional talent on board is key to our success. The acquisition of the highly respected independent asset consulting firm Atchison Consultants last year shows we are committed to run a better, stronger business that provides better outcomes for clients. In conjunction with Atchison Consultants, we seek to deliver enhanced outcomes,” he notes.
“We believe financial planning is a client centric business and we want to ensure we have the very best team to help our clients achieve their long term goals,” says Nemtsas.
“We look forward to Renato working closely with our clients across a wide range of areas covering the formulation and implementation of complex financial advice,” adds Drew Meredith, Director and Partner at Wattle Partners.
Manias holds a Master of Financial Planning and is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), having achieved the highest score in the CFP program in 2021 and was the winner of the FPA Gwen Fletcher Memorial Award.
Manias says: “I am very excited to work with the team at Wattle Partners. The firm stands out amongst the peers with its proud history and its determination to continue Austin Donnelly’s legacy of being a strong advocate for tailored, client-centric advice for our clients that always puts their interests first.
“I look forward to providing meaningful contribution to the financial well-being of our clients,” says Manias.
