Founded in 1987, Stanford Brown is a leading Australian private wealth and advisory firm, entrusted by individuals, families, professionals and business owners to help protect, manage and grow their wealth with confidence.

Privately owned and self licensed, we offer an integrated suite of services spanning private wealth management, strategic financial advice, investment management, accounting, lending, insurance and employee benefits.

Our multidisciplinary approach enables us to provide sophisticated, highly personalised advice that reflects the complexity of each client’s financial affairs, personal priorities and long term ambitions.

For almost four decades, Stanford Brown has built enduring client relationships through the quality of our advice, the depth of our expertise and our commitment to exceptional personal service. Today, we advise more than 800 family groups and manage almost $3 billion in client assets, serving executives, professionals, business owners, retirees and multigenerational families across Australia.

Stanford Brown’s purpose is to empower Australian families with the futures they want. We aspire to be more than an adviser, acting as a trusted partner through the defining financial decisions in our clients’ lives and supporting their families across generations.
