Integro’s buy and build strategy reaches Queensland

Integro Private Wealth has taken another step beyond its Western Australian home base, bringing Grant Enders into the fold as its first private wealth adviser in Queensland.  

Justin Gilmour, managing partner of Integro Private Wealth, sees growing demand in the state from high-net-worth individuals, business owners and families, with acquisitions across three east coast states firmly in view. 

Enders joins from a senior financial adviser role at Nestworth and starts with Integro this October. He brings a strong background in client relationship management, investment strategies and retirement planning, which supports the firm’s focus on personalised advice. 

His appointment follows the addition of Daniel Secatore in 2026 as the firm’s first on-the-ground adviser in Victoria. It also comes in the same year Integro passes $1 billion in funds under advice, a milestone that underlines the firm’s continued growth and expanding national footprint. 

Established in Western Australia in 2003, Integro is an independent firm, privately owned by its founders and staff. Its team of 30 works from Perth and advises individuals, family offices, native title trusts, not-for-profit organisations and accounting partnerships. 

For advisers, the move points to a broader trend. Independent firms are building national footprints through a mix of senior hires and practice acquisitions, and Integro is pursuing both on the east coast. 

Important growth market 

Gilmour says the appointment strengthens the firm’s ability to support clients in Queensland while positioning Integro for further growth. 

“Queensland remains an important growth market for Integro, both in supporting our existing clients and identifying opportunities to expand the business as demand for high-quality financial advice continues to increase,” Gilmour says. 

The reference to existing clients carries weight. Integro already counts clients in Queensland, and a local adviser gives those relationships a presence on the ground. Gilmour also points to the type of client behind the growing demand. 

“We’re seeing growing demand in Queensland from high-net-worth individuals, business owners and families seeking more sophisticated, personalised advice to help manage their wealth and achieve their long-term financial goals.” 

Those client segments tend to bring layered needs, from business structures and succession to the transfer of wealth between generations. Clients with needs like these often look for a private wealth model built around long-term relationships.  

Enders’ grounding in investment strategies and retirement planning lines up well with that work, particularly for business owners planning the sale or handover of a business and the retirement that follows. 

Buy and build 

Integro’s growth also runs through acquisitions. Its September 2026 merger with Western Australian advice firm Coastline Private Wealth strengthens the firm’s presence in WA.

The deal also establishes a specialist risk division within Integro’s broader wealth management offering, bringing insurance advice alongside investment and wealth advice under one roof. 

That merger follows an April 2026 merger with Bunbury-based Lighthouse Capital Southwest, as part of the firm’s ongoing expansion strategy. 

“Acquiring and integrating established advice practices remains an important part of our growth strategy,” Gilmour says. 

Speaking in October 2026, Gilmour says Integro is looking at acquisition opportunities in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland to bolster its east coast expansion.  

For practice principals weighing their own succession options, the comments signal that Integro is open to conversations in all three states. 

He adds that the firm remains focused on exploring opportunities to expand its national presence through acquisitions and partnerships with professional services firms, including accounting groups.  

Accounting partnerships already form part of Integro’s client base, and for many advice practices those relationships remain a valuable route to business owner clients. 

Relationships first 

For Enders, the firm’s momentum is a large part of the draw. 

“I’m excited to be joining Integro at a time of continued growth for the business,” Enders says. 

He plans to work with the team to build strong client relationships and to help more Australians with important financial decisions through tailored, holistic advice. 

For a firm that has called Perth home since 2003, the east coast picture is taking shape. Integro has an adviser on the ground in Queensland and another in Victoria, and its search for acquisitions spans New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
