How many hours does "just one more thing" really cost your business?

For Steve Browning and the team at Retire Invest Toowoomba Group, those small administrative tasks were adding up, creating duplication, reducing efficiency, and slowing client delivery.

📓 Our 2026 Advice Fee Benchmarking Report is here.

Based on a confidential survey of 143 Australian advice firms (representing around 500 advisers), the research looks at how firms are pricing five common client scenarios — and, more importantly, how their thinking about pricing is evolving.

Some of what stood out: firms are increasingly pricing initial advice around complexity rather than wealth alone, hybrid fee models are gaining real momentum, and location turns out to be a far weaker predictor of price than many assume.

As the report itself notes: "Good pricing is ultimately about creating alignment between client outcomes and business sustainability. When those two objectives are in balance, clients receive advice they value and firms generate the revenue required to invest in their people, systems and future growth."

This isn't a rate card or a pricing template — it's a reference point to bring context and confidence to a decision every advice firm has to make.

That's a wrap on VBP Conference 2026: Future Ready | The Next Era of Advice Is Here!

From 19-22 August in Cebu City, Philippines, delegates came together to explore what it means to be truly future-ready in an era shaped by AI, innovation, change, and growth.

Across four inspiring days, we discussed the evolution from automation to intelligence, learned how firms are adapting their operating models, explored real-world lessons from advice practices, examined trust and responsibility in the age of AI, and shared practical strategies for scaling teams, fostering innovation, and driving sustainable growth.

A highlight of the conference was our keynote session with Samantha Gash, whose powerful message on resilience, agility, and courage reminded us that transformational growth happens when we push beyond the finish line and embrace what's possible.

To everyone who took the stage, led discussions, and shared their expertise, thank you for helping make VBP Conference 2026 a truly engaging and thought-provoking experience. Your insights challenged us to think differently, embrace change, and prepare for the future ahead.
