The Count-owned licensee won in the 'Best Licensee-Owned Dealer Group' category ahead of other notable finalists such as AMP Financial Planning, Insignia Financial and MLC Advice.

The Australian Wealth Management Awards acknowledge excellence across the dynamic wealth management industry, with winners chosen against key criteria including performance, brand recognition and adviser sentiment over the past 12 months. 

Hugh Humphrey, Chief Executive Officer at Count, said the win would not be possible without the licensee's outstanding adviser community.

"In my role, I'm fortunate to meet so many advisers around the country from our network and see up close how hard they work, their passion for what they do and their unwavering focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for clients. Their commitment, energy and enthusiasm drive us to be a better business every day."

Mr Humphrey also acknowledged the dedicated Count team for their efforts in creating a high-quality service to support their community.

“In our most recent adviser survey, 93% of our advisers said they would recommend Count to someone looking to change licensees. That's because we are committed to doing the right thing by our advisers - broadening our service offerings and boosting their productivity through innovation. That service mindset is a fundamental component of who we are and what we stand for as a business."
