Advantage Financial Services came to be in 1993 after the need was recognised to provide a comprehensive range of financial and business services to clients, effectively a "one-stop" service.Financial planning services expanded in 1997 when Noel Atkins was joined by Graeme Gillogly, a qualified financial planner. This was the culmination of our vision of bringing together a team of professionals who, with their combined knowledge and experience, are providing a unique and comprehensive service to clients in Port Macquarie and surrounding areas.Our financial planning division has received Count Financial Limited "Award of Excellence" every year from 1999 to 2010 in recognition of our outstanding achievements in providing professional and independent financial planning advice to our clients.On 1 July 2013 Advantage Financial Services merged its business operations with 360 Financial Vision Pty Ltd who have offices in Coffs Harbour and Macksville. 360 Financial Vision was established in 1978 and the principals are well known to us as they have been Authorised Representatives of Count Financial Ltd since August 2002. Graeme Gillogly is now a principal in the new business.We believe this merger is in the best interests of our clients and staff. We will continue to operate our business independently and strongly believe that our clients will benefit from our access to new technologies, more specialist knowledge and be in a position to offer a broader range of services whilst maintaining our high level of professionalism.
