Count Financial says three former MLC firms are joining its national network of advice businesses.

The new network members are Canberra-based Sapphire Coast Financial Services; Melbourne-based Next Generation Financial Planning and Aspire Financial Planning.

“[They] are three exceptional advice firms that we are delighted to have joining our national network,” Chief Advice Officer Andrew Kennedy said.

“They bring experience and expertise which the rest of our member network will be able to benefit from.”
