About the Conference

Unlocking today’s potential for SME lending
With more SMEs than ever requiring funding for their business, there is a real opportunity for client-focused accountants to be more actively involved in meeting their SME funding needs.

Our 2022 conference was packed with insightful information and strategies for those who wanted to stay ahead of the curve, enhance their position as a trusted adviser and capture significant fees!

Our jam-packed, face-to-face program was designed around real-life case studies, teaching accountants how to manage seamless client experiences that generate successful lending outcomes, helping their clients get “finance fit” and “loan-ready”, and showing them how to navigate lenders’ assessments.

Our event addressed the key dimensions of managing the SME client relationship, giving attendees the right tools to take control, such as:

  • How accountants can consolidate the depth of their client relationship and generate additional revenue for their practice.
  • The SME client blueprint for success and equipped them with the tools and knowledge to become actively involved in the lending process.
  • Unlocking the full potential of SME lending by seamlessly blending planning with advice to forecast borrowing power.
  • Provided key insights into lender expectations and taught attendees why they are supportive of accountants as key contributors to the financing process.

We'll be back in 2023 to do it all over again. Keen to attend? Register your interest today to be among the first to know when we launch.

About the Awards

The broking industry’s event of the year

The Adviser is excited to celebrate the achievements of brokers in each state and territory, through an in-person awards night in the five major states. Following COVID-19 guidelines, this multistate awards night will be limited in capacity, so be sure to be the first to get tickets and secure your place!

The Better Business Awards not only acknowledges the brokers who are leading the charge in each state and territory – those with the most effective businesses, teams, marketing strategies and integrated offerings – but also the lenders and aggregator BDMs that are best servicing brokers’ evolving needs.

Key to successful broking is building up a local presence, and servicing clients in your immediate catchment area with dedication and skill. To be an outstanding broker, it’s not just about writing volume, it’s about customer service and dedication to the clients’ best interests.

The Better Business Awards provides an excellent platform for talented brokers and offices across Australia to gain recognition for their professionalism and dedication, and celebrate the best operators in each local market.

Keep connected with your peers and network with the industry’s best, face to face. Stay tuned for more information!
