Bombora Advice connection pivotal for Wealth Architects client & strategic growth goals

Monday March 2, 2026.  Wealth Architects Head of Strategic Partnerships Leigh Quade has confirmed the successful transition of Wealth Architects to the Bombora Advice AFSL.

Commenting further, Leigh Quade said the benefits of operating under the Bombora AFSL were pivotal for the financial service group's long-term strategic business and growth objectives - in particular, for providing the foundation for innovative adviser and client offerings, service and access to new alliance, JV and acquisition opportunities.

Leigh Quade is also confident that the Bombora connection and marketplace reputation will provide an incentive for life insurance specialists to consider operating under the Wealth Architects banner or alliance framework.

Founded in 2013, Wealth Architects began as a privately-owned boutique financial advisory practice.  From inception, its philosophy and culture has applied an 'architectural mindset' of designing, building and implementing personalised financial strategies that align with the protection, wealth creation and commercial goals of personal and business owner clients added Leigh Quade.

From a single-office practice, Wealth Architects steadily expanded its footprint and today operates from offices across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.  In addition, the group operates in New Zealand from offices in Auckland and Christchurch.

Leigh Quade continued, "Following the acquisition and integration of Fitzpatrick Financial Services, we undertook an extensive review of Wealth Architects and looked to the future for the organisation, advice and client service offering.

"It was agreed it was time to position Wealth Architects for the long term in a modern connected economy and rapidly evolving life insurance / financial services marketplace".

"Fitzpatrick's existing relationship and AFSL with Bombora - and Bombora's risk specialisation, boutique approach, collegiate environment and infrastructure was a compelling offer that literally 'ticked all the boxes'".

Luke Considine, Wealth Architects Head of Life Insurance said though self-licensing was considered, operating under the Bombora AFSL meant we could focus all our resources on the business - and the benefits were immediate.

"Looking to the future, Wealth Architects is a financial planning and life insurance business with immense potential to grow organically and through acquisition.

"In the short-term, we are currently in the final stages of a number of exciting acquisitions. 

"However, in the long-term we see the biggest potential for organic growth being from life insurance via alliances and JVs with professional advisory businesses seeking access to our risk specialists."    

Responding on behalf of Bombora, Managing Director Niall McConville said "The appointment by Wealth Architects is both a privilege and acknowledgement of Bombora's reputation and compelling marketplace offering. 

"We are looking forward with immense excitement to working in partnership with Wealth Architects to position the organisation for continued success and growth in the future."

Leigh Quade concluded, "Wealth Architects is now positioned for a strong growth trajectory as both a standalone business, backed by strength and scale with diverse capabilities to support and empower advisers to deliver lasting value for their clients.

"We are also actively pursuing strategic financial planning and life risk acquisitions - confident Wealth Architects can be the solution for practice owners seeking administrative support and a partner with scale, capacity, resources and succession options".
