Rich Williams, who previously led Australian asset finance intermediary, Stratton Finance. The role of the new team will be to collaborate closely with accountancy firms to help them and their clients get more from their banking with personalised and dedicated support. The team will run regional events, share knowledge, and help accountants add value to their client relationships.
Discussing the need for a bank that prioritises accountant relationships, Mitch Hahn, CEO of accountancy firm Nordens said: "Over the years we’ve tried to work with all the high street banks, but frustratingly, we’ve found most have fallen short time and time again. They haven’t really understood our clients, their needs or their potential. "Last year one of our clients introduced us to Al-
lica Bank because they’d started banking with them. It was refreshing to talk to the banking team there who were genuinely interested and passionate about working with us and our clients. "It’s key for accountants and banks to work together to provide business owners with an excellent service. We’re pleased (and relieved!) to have finally found a bank willing to step up and deliver."
