Who's behind The Wealth Network?​
Together they run their own financial planning empire.

Dean and Paul_edited.png

Dean (left) and Paul (right) founded Absolute Wealth Advisers back in 2009 and after capturing a fair share of the high net wealth market in Sydney they  saw value in nurturing and investing in the rising talent of Australia's financial advice industry.

 

They currently hold equity stakes in four other financial planning businesses and invest directly into the fintech companies of the future.

 

Not content to take the hands off approach  Dean rolls up his sleeves and actively engages in a leadership role for these businesses while Paul primarily takes care of business at Absolute Wealth Advisers. They both lend their wisdom at a board level to members of The Wealth Network.

 

Dean has been a leading mentor to some of the most awarded young talent in the financial advice industry including Ben Nash, Glen Hare and Jessica Brady. His superb ability to implement an efficient business model with high standards in detail, duty and compliance has set the groundwork for each member of The Wealth Network to offer impeccable and focussed service.

Dean and Paul are available for podcast and speaking opportunities.
