SERVICES
PERSONAL ADVICE
The bedrock of our business is developing personal relationships with each of our clients, so that we have a complete understanding not only of your financial affairs but your lifestyle, interests, and long-term objectives. This enables us to tailor investment strategies accordingly and provide purposeful advice about aspects such as superannuation, insurances, loan and debt management, and retirement planning.
FAMILY OFFICE
We can help you manage your wealth with a view to benefiting future generations of the family. Considerations can include asset protection, portfolio structure, estate and capital management, risk minimisation, succession planning, philanthropy, and unlocking potential for growth. Every part of the planning process is customised to your family’s personal circumstances, ambitions and, importantly, values.
NATIVE TITLE TRUSTS
Specialist advice is provided to help communities invest and distribute trust funds wisely and fairly. All planning and decision making is conducted in consultation with the community. Key meetings are held on country and control of the finances stays in the hands of community members, who set the guidelines for funding immediate needs and implementing investment strategies to deliver long-term benefits.
NOT-FOR-PROFIT
We assist Not-for-Profit organisations and charities in structuring investment committees, setting governance guidelines, and designing and implementing investment policies and strategies. We can also advise on grant applications and engagement with philanthropists and other benefactors. In managing endowment investments, our focus is on protecting and growing funds to ensure a sustainable future.
ACCOUNTING PARTNERSHIPS
Through our relationships with like-minded accounting practices, we can each provide our mutual clients with a broader range of financial services, and help each other grow. For instance, our clients can benefit from advice in specialist areas such as business structuring, accounting systems, tax planning and compliance, and mergers and acquisitions. Such synergies provide benefits for all parties.

They do it all for you, plus my portfolio value is increasing a lot more. The proof is in the figures; they don’t lie.
Jordan Elliot – Integro Client since 2016
I’m totally impressed with the way they go about their business. Documentation wise, making sure that everything is bona fide. Compliance is a big issue with them.
Victor Kailis – Integro Client since 2013
They’re very proactive. It’s not just, “We’ve put your money there, we’re satisfied”. They’re watching and looking around to see if there’s something else that could be perhaps better. It’s to diversify. They don’t just keep all your finance in one box. You’ve got have a few little boxes as well. It’s really important.
Margaret Anderson – Integro Client since 2013
‘We’re able to fulfil our needs rather than being lumped in with, say, a big corporate grouping. So all the investments are our investments and we have a say in them. It’s good value and we understand what they’re doing.
Allan White – Integro Client since 2013
The reality is there’s something like two thousand products that you can invest in. A lot of them you wouldn’t come across if you’re not active in the market, so Integro’s research plays an important role. Having the backing and the research to make the decisions about what you should be investing in is important for everyone. There should be no surprises.
Joe Evangelista – Integro Client since 2016
The Integro team are responsive and proactive, with appropriate reminders, and they have a real-time on-line secure portal for you to follow your investments. Regular meetings ensure that there is constant review of our financial progress, and adjustments can be made as our circumstances change.
Dr Gordon Harloe – Integro Client since 2011
Justin was instrumental in helping me get a significant loan for an investment property, which was quite incredible at the time. He worked extremely hard on it with his mortgage broker and they got it over the line with the bank. It was Justin who started the ball rolling and secured the funds
