Integro Private Wealth bolsters team for ongoing expansion, extending their sights on a national presence
Integro Private Wealth (Integro), a leading Australian financial advice firm, has bolstered their team to cater for the ongoing growth of the business, as it builds towards a truly national presence with capabilities and investment opportunities that rival larger advice practices.
Integro has continued to increase their presence nationwide in recent years after inking referral partnership arrangements with leading accounting practices, including AMD Chartered Accountants and AH Jackson. To cater for growing client demand and ongoing expansion, the firm has hired Emma Ross as Advice and Operations Manager. In this pivotal role, Emma will lead the Integro team and oversee the full spectrum of the advice process – from initial engagement to final delivery – ensuring operational excellence and a consistently high standard of client service.
Her responsibilities span performance management, process optimisation, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. Emma’s leadership will be instrumental in fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture that aligns with Integro’s values and growth ambitions.
A qualified financial adviser, Emma Ross brings a wealth of experience to her new role at Integro. She has held senior leadership positions across the financial services industry, including her tenure as Partnerships Manager at AMP, where she was instrumental in strengthening strategic alliances.
Most recently, Emma served as General Manager at Financial Framework, where she led initiatives to streamline the advice process, enhance team capability, and drive operational efficiency. Her work focused on building scalable systems, nurturing talent, and aligning practice operations with the broader strategic goals of the business.
Justin Gilmour, Managing Partner at Integro Private Wealth, welcomed the appointment, stating: “Emma’s addition to the leadership team marks a significant step forward for Integro. Her depth of experience and industry insight will empower us to scale with confidence, while staying true to our commitment to excellence. Backed by a strong and knowledgeable leadership team, we’re well-positioned to achieve our strategic goals and continue delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.”
Justin Gilmour further commented: “Having Emma on board is a catalyst for Integro Private Wealth’s next phase of growth. Her leadership will support our strategic shift toward establishing a stronger national presence, attracting and partnering with high-calibre advice professionals. Together, we aim to deliver a compelling and professional advice experience tailored to individuals, high-net-worth clients, and small businesses.”
In addition to the appointment of Emma Ross, Integro has made two strategic internal promotions within the business, promoting Bryn Evans to Partner and Jameson Johnston to Provisional Adviser.
In his new role as Partner, Mr Evans will play a key role in advancing Integro’s growth strategy. His focus will include working closely with the firm’s advice partners to deliver holistic financial advice to clients, while also mentoring Provisional Year (PY) associates and emerging advisers.
Through hands-on guidance and leadership, Mr Evans will support the development of future talent, helping young professionals align their career progression with Integro’s broader business objectives. His appointment reinforces Integro’s commitment to cultivating a high-performing, client-centric advisory team.
Mr Johnston’s elevation to Provisional Adviser makes him one of the youngest advisers in the nation, aged 22. He will work alongside Justin Gilmour to provide financial advice to clients, including financial modelling and wealth management solutions.
“I have always believed in the need to promote young talent within the business, to acknowledge their skills and achievements, but also to keep them engaged and moving forward within their own careers. Both Bryn and Jameson started their careers with Integro and both will have the opportunity to continue developing with us.”
“As Partner, Bryn will contribute to the broader business by maintaining solid working relationships with our professional advice partners, and support the nurturing of the young advice talent within Integro, while still undertaking his hands on client work and furthering those relationships.”
Mr Gilmour believes that Integro’s structured learning approach labelled “The Integro Academy” has been a driving force behind Mr Johnston’s rapid progression in becoming one of Australia’s youngest advisers.
“As adviser numbers continue to dwindle in Australia, better attracting and retaining staff will only become more important and having holistic structured learning programs is key. The careers of Bryn and Jameson are a testament to this, as they look to create a long-term meaningful impact on the industry.”
As the firm continues to expand, Integro remains focused on supporting clients through what they see as the greatest intergenerational wealth transfer in living memory, as high land valuations and the consolidation of Australian businesses encouraging many families to sell up.
“Our business growth and demand has been fuelled by a significant increase in the number of families looking to sell their businesses and assets, particularly in the agricultural space. Bryn and Jameson have been at the forefront of supporting clients through these transitions and we expect this trend to continue into the future.”
