Wattle Partners bolsters team

Financial advisory firm Wattle Partners has appointed Renato Manias as a senior financial adviser.

Manias joins Wattle Partners with a decade of financial planning experience under his belt, working across several boutique financial planning practices in Victoria.

He arrives at Wattle from Hughes O'Dea Corredig where he worked as a financial adviser.

Previously, he worked at PMP Wealth, Morrows Dodgshun Medlin and Meritum Financial Group.

"We look forward to Renato working closely with our clients across a wide range of areas covering the formulation and implementation of complex financial advice," said Drew Meredith, director and partner at Wattle Partners.

Jamie Nemtsas, partner and director at Wattle Partners also welcomed Renato to the group noting that the financial planning sector is undergoing an overhaul.

"We know that our clients today want good advice - which can be more easily measured," he said

"Our firm continues its growth trajectory and having exceptional talent on board is key to our success. The acquisition of the highly respected independent asset consulting firm Atchison Consultants last year shows we are committed to running a better, stronger business that provides better outcomes for clients. In conjunction with Atchison Consultants, we seek to deliver enhanced outcomes," said.

"We believe financial planning is a client-centric business and we want to ensure we have the very best team to help our clients achieve their long-term goals," he added.

For his part, Manias said he was very excited to work with the team at Wattle Partners.

"I look forward to providing a meaningful contribution to the financial well-being of our clients."
