a wealth of expertise
Our History
At Lead Partners we value long term relationships built on trust. We add value to our clients lives, and are in a position with our skills and the knowledge to help immensely with their financial situations.
We strive to continually hold our clients’ best interests at heart, as opposed to when you’re walking into a corporately owned organisation.
Our advice is client centric, so people walk out with the very best outcomes for them, not for the corporate owner.
Many of our team members hail from the Stewart family business of Stonehouse, and we proudly maintain those strong family ethics within the Lead Partners business.
