Compliance Consultants Directory

New for 2025!

As professionals delivering high quality planning services to clients, FAAA members understand the value in obtaining input from a specialist. When financial planners, practices or licensees need compliance, legal or business development advice, the following practitioners may be able to assist.  

Please note that the FAAA does not endorse any of the organisations or individuals below. It is the responsibility of the individual or entity engaging services to undertake their own due diligence and ensure the suitability of the provider for their requirements. We would recommend that you take the time to fully research the services that you need and shop around to find the practitioner that is the best fit for you and your practice.

By using this directory you agree to the terms set out at the bottom of this page, as well as the FAAA’s website terms, which can be found here.
