Benchmarking & Key Practice Data for Financial Planners

Our firm is a market leader in providing key benchmarking information to the Australian Accounting profession and, more recently the Financial Planning Industry. In July 2013 we released an inaugural benchmarking report “Financial Planners Typical Fees Report”. This report gave financial planners the heads-up on the most common ‘methods of charging’ to be used post FoFA and the typical fees that would be applied within these approaches. The industry uptake of this ground braking report encouraged us to conduct the on-line survey 12 months later to ascertain the REALITY OF FoFA.

Practice Broking

Michelle Knights is a licensed broker for the purchase and sale of professional practices. We offer a very structured, hands-on approach to the sale process. We understand that the process of selling or buying a practice is very complex and challenging for any Vendor so it is our firm’s policy to take as much of the broking process away from the vendor as possible.

Valuations

We are an EXPERIENCED and INDEPENDENT valuer of professional firms having valued in excess of 5,500 Practices throughout Australia. At Rob Knights & Co our main point of difference in the way we value firms is our METHODOLOGY. To learn more CLICK HERE.

Practice Protection

This unique and innovative service is specifically designed to minimise the burden of risk to the sole or small practitioner. We would all agree that the greatest risk sole and small practitioners face is an unexpected injury or death, which prevents their dependants benefiting from the equity established in their business.

Exclusive to Rob Knights & Co, “Practice Protection” provides secure storage and annual revisions of all relevant practice data that, in the event of something untimely happening, can be used to expedite the sale of the practice, without having family or friends further distressed at an already difficult time.
