Anthony started his working life as an accountant before deciding to transition to Financial Planning in 2000 as he felt he could better assist clients to navigate their financial journeys and achieve their wealth creation, retirement, business / personal insurance protection and lifestyle goals.  In 2004 he established Financial Planit.

Buckley said the key factors in the decision was the long-term relationship with FFSP GM Gus Smarrini and the aligned values and philosophy between the two firms that facilitated a natural and strategic fit.

"Additional strategic drivers to joining FFSP was the need to find the right business partner in order to ensure continuity of service for our clients as well as the need for a succession / exit solution to be in place well before the need to retire is considered", affirmed Anthony Buckley.

"An immediate benefit of the new structure has been the freedom to focus on the key areas I'm good at and where I can add the most value, which is assisting and working with my clients to achieve their long-term financial objectives."

Forbes added, "The acquisition of Financial Planit has been the catalyst for a steady stream of enquiries from financial planning practices.  This is understandable considering the ongoing industry changes and the benefits of FFSP's marketplace offer, structure, administrative framework, flexibility and scale".

"We are not obsessed with growth and remain committed to 'managed' growth in order to continue being an intimate organisation that delivers professional financial advice, service and support on a personal and local level.  Looking to the future, I'm confident the FFSP will strengthen its footprint in the Victorian marketplace.
