Eureka takes out Fin Wis award


Eureka Financial Group has been named Practice of the Year by Financial Wisdom.
The annual awards are intended to recognise excellence in financial planning, and Eureka managing director Greg Cook said it represented recognition of Eureka's highly committed team.
"Our strength is in the professionalism, integrity and expertise of our people," Cook said.
According to Financial Wisdom's Mark Ballantyne, Eureka Financial Group stood out in the eyes of the judges because of the depth of its client relationships and for engaging clients in a deep relationship beyond the fundamental business of good strategic advice.
