Congratulations to William Buck partners who made the Top 150 Financial Advisers list

By William Buck

William Buck wealth advisors Scott Girdlestone and Andrew Barlow made the exclusive Barron’s and The Australian’s Top 150 Financial Advisers list yesterday, which profiles the nation’s best wealth managers and aims to raise standards in the industry.

Scott Girdlestone (position 27) is William Buck’s Head of Wealth Advisory (NSW) and a partner in the firm’s Sydney office. He has been ranked on the list – which is largely dominated by global financial institutions – for five years running.

Andrew Barlow (position 50) is a partner in the firm’s Adelaide office. Andrew has been with William Buck since 2013, when he joined as a paraplanner. Since then, he has experienced a rapid yet well-deserved rise, reflecting our commitment to promoting from within and rewarding talent based on skills, attitude, and results.

In 2020, Andrew was promoted to partner, recognised for his exceptional technical expertise and unwavering dedication to delivering results for our clients. At just 31 years old, he became one of the youngest partners in our history. This marks Andrew’s second appearance on the prestigious list.

Scott Girdlestone said William Buck’s integrated, full-service model combined with the relationship-driven approach of our advisors, is highly regarded by our clients.

“William Buck’s regular ranking is a testament to our proven investment expertise as demonstrated by historical portfolio outperformance. This point of difference, combined with our firm’s tax and structural knowledge, allows us to project manage our clients’ business and personal wealth affairs,” said Scott.

“Our advisors and accountants work in close partnership to support high-net-worth families and businesses in building and safeguarding their wealth.

“By seamlessly blending financial expertise with accounting insight, we provide a unique, commercially informed yet deeply personal perspective to help our clients achieve their financial aspirations.”

Scott said William Buck’s progressive culture also affords it greater agility and flexibility when managing clients’ wealth, unrestricted by many of the challenges faced by other firms.

William Buck congratulates Scott and Andrew on their achievement and thanks them for their significant contributions to the firm.
