Civitas appoints James McCowan
Civitas Services Australia Pty Ltd is delighted to announce the appointment of James McCowan as Business Partner. With an impressive career in the wealth management industry, James brings with him a proven track record of successfully transforming financial planning practices to high performing businesses.
James is widely recognised for his knowledge and experience collaborating with AFSL partners to drive efficiency improvements and streamline operations, strongly focusing on compliance, strategic business expansion, and client relationships.
James’ role at Civitas will see him working with new businesses, managing AFSL requirements and creating and executing financial solutions. While based in Brisbane, James will be servicing regions nationally.
Mark Stephen, Managing Director at Civitas Services said, “Optimising operational efficiencies is crucial for AFSL businesses, and financial planners often struggle to focus on streamlining operations due to other priorities. This is where we see James’ expertise – to guide these businesses to operate optimally and grow.”
