Intelliflo prepares for international expansion

The firm is developing its business management system, Intelligent Office, for use by financial intermediaries operating in territories outside the UK.

Australia will be the first international territory to have access to Intelligent Office, with plans to roll out access to the system across multiple countries in the future.

Intelliflo has hired Johann Koch as its international business development director. Johann has specialised in adviser technology for over 16 years, including 12 years in business development roles at IRESS, seven of which were in Australia.

In his new role, Johann will be tasked with establishing business development teams and developing partner communities in each new international territory.

Intelliflo also announced plans to triple the investment being made into Intelligent Office, up from over £3 million a year to £10 million a year.

The firm says the UK will remain a core focus for the business, with Wenda Field taking a new role as chief sales officer to drive new business growth, providing advice firms with services to boost their business performance.

Nick Eatock, Intelliflo's chairman and founder, commented: "Since inception in 2004, Intelliflo has been focused on developing outstanding business technology specifically designed to enable financial advisers and their teams in the UK to become more efficient and profitable. Taking this technology to new markets is a natural next step."

Johann Koch added: "As Intelliflo's first business development director for international markets I know I have been given a superb opportunity to take what is truly market-leading technology to territories where there is a massive appetite. The market demand for change in Australia and in other international regions is very encouraging, and with so much innovation and investment going into constantly developing the tools and services available within Intelligent Office, the proposition is highly compelling and will open new doors for advisers operating outside the UK who are ambitious to take their firms to the next level."
