SMSF industry leader joins Heffron as director of strategy and growth

Former AMP managing director of SMSF administration and current chair of the SMSF Association Andrew Hamilton has joined technical specialist Heffron as director of strategy and growth.

"Andrew is a legend in the SMSF industry. We respected him as a top competitor and are now excited to have him as part of our leadership team. We intend to make Heffron the undisputed SMSF service provider of choice and we know Andrew's energy and experience will help us get there," said Heffron MD Meg Heffron.

"He adds to our existing valuable industry relationships, including with high end advice and accounting firms. As the co-founder of Cavendish, Andrew also understands what it takes to grow and change a business without compromising on service quality."

Hamilton has been consulting for Heffron for the last year. "The self-managed super industry is continuing to grow and mature, while dealing with both new challenges and opportunities. It's more important than ever that SMSF trustees have access to independent professionals for whom SMSF is their core business, such as Heffron," he said.

"Having worked for a variety of different organisations and listened carefully to clients, I am convinced the agility of an independent specialist such as Heffron also makes a big difference to service quality. Heffron has exciting plans for its future and I'm looking forward to being part of them."

Hamilton was the managing director and founder of Cavendish Superannuation from 1992-2012.
