Earlier this week the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) announced their annual honours with Andrew Frith of Leenane Templeton Wealth Management, awarded the NSW winner of the 2013 FPA Financial Planner Best Practice Award.

The awards form an integral part of the FPA’s mandate to elevate the status of financial planning to a universally respected profession and are a symbol of excellence for Australians seeking financial advice from a trusted, qualified and professional financial planner.

“I believe this award demonstrates our high standards of professionalism and commitment to providing valuable advice and service to our clients,” Andrew said.

“Our core value is that we believe in placing the clients interests first, rather than our own.”

Andrew is a Chartered Accountant and a specialist in self-managed superannuation, working with Leenane Templeton Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors for the past 12 years.

The awards acknowledge FPA members for the positive contribution they make to the profession throughout the year, and recognise the superior outcomes that FPA members can achieve when they provide professional advice in line with the Code of Professional Practice and Code of Ethics.

The FPA is the peak professional body for financial planning in Australia. It has a network of 32 Chapters across the country, which provides business and professional development activities for more than 10,000 members.
