About Us

As an Advisors under Risk and Investment Advisors Australia Pty Ltd, we are aligned in our beliefs that providing quality advice to meet individual needs is paramount. RIAA is a trusted brand that holds you, the client's best interest at heart.

Grant Scalmer, Managing Director
“Run by advisors, for advisors”

RIAA is about establishing genuine partnerships with our advisors, because they are truly the backbone of this business.

As a practicing Financial Planner myself, I really understand and relate to the questions and issues faced by our advisors every day, at the coalface. My door is always open and I encourage all of our advisors to call me whenever they themselves need advice, support or guidance.

My vision for RIAA was always about attracting the types of advisors that will really benefit from the culture we offer. Free minded advisors who enjoy the support offered by a trusted brand like RIAA, but want to maintain the freedom to run their own business in their own way, as I do mine.

My vision for RIAA is always expanding. We have a great future of growth ahead of us and I look forward to attracting even more like-minded advisors to the RIAA team - advisors who want to be a part of our commitment to provide clients with the best financial advice in the industry.

RIAA advisors benefit from a sound operating model, which helps them remain compliant within the rapidly changing laws of the industry. We offer this assurance by providing standards for documentation, disclosure to clients and quality of advice and by ensuring they have adequate levels of professional indemnity insurance and education and training.

We also offer our advisors technical support and a large, unbiased set of products within which to manage their business. Our advisors are then able to take this business model and apply it to their own brand - with the added security of an RIAA partnership.

At RIAA, we respect and acknowledge that our advisors are running a business that they are already proud of. Our advisors want to run their own business, with the added support of an organisation like RIAA. They don’t want a Big Brother.

Rob Mills, QLD State Manager
“RIAA prospers as a collective or a ‘wealth’ of advisors because they attract advisors looking to partner with a non-institutional Licensee, who also holds genuine interest in supporting those advisors to achieve the outcomes beneficial for their clients and their businesses. All of the RIAA advisors are “keepers of the quality” and from both a Licensee as well as a client perspective, that is a fantastic attribute to have. As an ideal, that is also one of the best places to be in in today’s current environment.

Rob; with his experience spanning almost 20 years in this industry is there to support, guide and consult to advisors on subject matter pertaining to their business and the delivery of financial advice to their clients. He relishes this role because of the opportunity for RIAA advisors to consider all of the available options for Rob to add value to their business, whilst giving them the autonomy to run their own, independent business. Rob has also been a successful financial advisor in his own right and has seen the positive outcomes for clients who have chosen to work with an advisor.

Rob has witnessed first-hand how the advisors here at RIAA interrelate and he is actually buoyed by their willingness and enthusiasm to share experiences with one another and take on learnings from each other. In other words; RIAA is a fully supportive and positive environment for advisors to be a part of.”
