Commenting on the awards, SMSF Adviser deputy editor Sarah Kendell said the winners were to be congratulated for their skills, leadership and specialist knowledge which set them apart from their peers in a competitive and fast-paced industry.

“The SMSF Adviser Editor’s Choice Awards seeks to recognise excellent customer service, business know-how and specialist dedication to serving each individual or company’s local SMSF client base,” Ms Kendell said.

“It was fantastic during the judging process to discover so many local businesses that are assisting SMSF trustees and investors to work through the often complex and challenging world of managing their own retirement.

“On behalf of SMSF Adviser, congratulations to all the winners on being outstanding representatives of your businesses and the industry as a whole.”
