AMP veteran joins regional accountancy firm
Former AMP/AXA wealth executive Bob Blurton has been appointed general manager of Queensland accountancy and advisory group Moore Stephens’ wealth division.
Blurton, who managed AXA and AMP wealth teams for more than 25 years, was taken on to grow the firm’s financial planning and wealth management offering.
“This significant appointment provides enormous opportunity for him to actively contribute to the overall growth strategy in financial planning and the booming self-managed superannuation funds (SMSF) market,” Moore Stephens managing director Ken Pickard said.
“The decision to recruit Bob to lead our wealth team was based on his extensive knowledge and expertise in the financial planning and wealth management sector.”
Blurton added: “Moore Stephens has positioned a broad service offering for businesses and high net worth clients. In addition to tax compliance, business advisory services and helping clients manage risk, they also offer a comprehensive wealth management and SMSF advice package”.
The new GM will be based in the Brisbane office and liaise with the principals of each of the six Queensland-based offices.
