Nominations open for the 2026 Power50

Nominations for the 2026 Financial Standard Power50 are now open as we recognise the country's most influential advisers who continue to raise the standards for the profession and provide outstanding service to clients and the wider community.

This year, we celebrate the Power50 list's 13th anniversary.

The FS Power50 are financial advisers deemed to be best promoting the value of the financial advice profession, while providing outstanding service to their clients and the wider community.

The Power50 comprises advisers who have won industry awards, brought their local advice community together, supported charitable foundations, promoted the value of financial advice in the media and across digital channels and more.

They include those that are active within industry associations, boast a strong social media following, and help uplift financial literacy and awareness.

As part of the selection process, we also invite relevant industry associations to nominate outstanding members of their associations and combine that list with the list of nominations from the Financial Standard editorial and research teams.

Financial Standard will also nominate outstanding advisers based on feature and profile stories we have published in FS Advice - The Australian Journal of Financial Planning.

To nominate a worthy financial adviser, please submit a nomination form here.

Nominations are open until July 20, Monday.

The shortlist will be announced on August 10, Monday, henceforth voting for the top 50 will also commence.

The 2026 Power50 will be unveiled on September 18, Friday.
