“We’ve got the confidence now that we know where the business is heading, so we’re able to make decisions about how we’re going to move forward, leveraging off the brand we’ve started to build and building on that even more," she told The Adviser.
Ms Schulze said Rise High Financial Solutions intends to take on new brokers as business is set to expand.
“We are certainly open to the idea of welcoming new brokers to our business as long as they are the right culture fit, as we believe it is important to be selective because they reflect our brand and have the ability to impact everyone else in the business,” she said.
“We’re still a relatively new company and we want to further establish our brand, keep growing our client base and our customer volumes – that’s what we’re focused on at the moment.”
