Ironbark enters next stage of growth

18 March 2026: Diversified financial services firm Ironbark today announced it is bringing its 15 businesses together under a single brand as part of its ambition to give all Australians access to trusted advice.

Under the new brand structure, parent company Ironbark Financial Group will operate the following sub-brands:

  • Ironbark Advice  
  • Ironbark Private Wealth  
  • Ironbark Investment Solutions  

 

“We are excited about the role that Ironbark can play in the future of wealth management in Australia. We have built one business that at its core is about being the trusted home for Australians to get great advice, services and solutions, underpinned by strong governance and a fiduciary-led mindset." 

Chris Larsen, Ironbark Financial Group CEO and Co-Founder.

Ironbark today has more than $93 billion1 under advice, management and trusteeship. Founded in 2009 by former Deutsche Bank colleagues Chris Larsen and Brendan Carpenter (COO and Deputy Group CEO), it is a privately held company with an experienced leadership team focused on growth. Ironbark’s new brand is part of its strategy to provide advice and investment solutions to a diverse client base and build on its position as a leading wealth management business.

Ironbark Advice offers everyday Australians and their families financial advice for all stages of life, including access to a breadth of solutions from lending and wealth protection to accounting and aged care.  

Ironbark Private Wealth offers an extensive range of bespoke solutions for families, entrepreneurs, professionals and family offices who want to preserve their wealth and grow it for future generations.  

Ironbark Investment Solutions consists of two businesses: funds management and corporate trustee services. The funds management business partners with investment managers to develop best-in-class solutions for wholesale and institutional investors. The corporate trustee business builds tailored funds and managed accounts in partnership with fund managers, consultants, advice firms and platforms.

“Bringing our businesses together under a single brand will make it easier for clients and partners to understand who we are and reinforce the breadth of the capabilities we have built over time,” Larsen said.

“Over the past 15-plus years we’ve built Ironbark with one belief at its core: when you put clients first and back that with strong governance, great outcomes follow.”
