AFA names its rising star


The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA), in conjunction with ANZ Wealth, has named Wealth Enhancers’ Rebecca Pritchard as its 2018 Rising Star of the Year.
The award, which aims to recognise emerging talent in the financial advice industry, and those that have contributed to the financial literacy of their clients and proven their commitment to ongoing professional development, was awarded at the AFA National Adviser Conference on the Gold Coast yesterday.
AFA chief executive, Phil Kewin, said Pritchard, a financial advice coach and graduate of Kaplan Business School, had a refreshing and energetic approach to providing financial advice.
“Her strong technical skills combined with dynamic communication have quickly established a solid foundation for future success. Rebecca is a true rising star,” he said.
Don Sillar, head of sales, ANZ Wealth, said Pritchard’s professional experience at KPMG and her strong technical capability shaped her passion for wealth advice.
