Magnitude’s regional focus
BT Financial Group’s Magnitude Financial Planning has continued its regional expansion with the opening of two new practices, located in Atherton, Queensland and Geraldton, Western Australia.
The Atherton-based practice is headed by former Westpac senior financial planner Don Sheppard who plans to work closely with businesses operating in the farm and produce sector, tourism and government support agencies.
The Geraldton-based business is the second Magnitude practice to open in Western Australia reflecting the demand for financial advice in this growing area.
The new practice, managed by local adviser Dan Crisp, will provide support to the mining sector, export and port industries of the booming local community.
