Andrew Fairweather
Fitzpatricks Financial Group has announced that Group Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Fairweather, will assume added responsibility for leading its private wealth subsidiary, Fitzpatricks Advice Partners, following Jasia Fabig’s decision to step down as General Manager, Advice and transition to an independent high-performance coach for the group’s practice principals.
Fabig will continue to support Fitzpatricks Advice Partners’ National Firm Board, which is chaired by the group’s Co-founder John Woodley.
In her new capacity, Fabig will focus on assisting the group’s practice principals with business planning, performance monitoring, and the development and execution of growth initiatives.
Fairweather said the addition of business planning as a dedicated service significantly enhanced Fitzpatricks’ value proposition, and would drive mutually-beneficial outcomes for both the group’s advice community and Fabig.
Jasia has been considering the next stage of her career for some time and this transition allows her to explore her passions while retaining her capability to drive value inside the network in a more dedicated way,” he said.
“In my expanded role, I’m most excited about working closer with the National Firm Board and National Firm committees, including the Lead Adviser and Community Committees, to take the business forward.”
Fabig said: “I’m passionate about supporting advisers to achieve their business objectives using regular oversight and structured accountability frameworks, and I look forward to remaining intimately involved with the Fitzpatricks advice community”.
Fairweather said the group’s shift to a flatter organisational design would foster faster decision-making, greater agility, and responsiveness to industry change.
Fabig will continue in her current role until September 11, 2025, before commencing her parttime consulting arrangement with Fitzpatricks Advice Partners in October.
