In The Slipstream

  Podcast with Stephen Kostarelas Show Notes In this episode we talk with Stephen Kostarelas of The Wealth Designers (TWD) about his life as a director and financial adviser. Amongst a range of interesting topics, we discuss how he came to financial planning from an accounting background and how TWD came to be AFA’s Firm of the Year in 2018. Stephen also shares some interesting thoughts about the incoming FASEA rules and the potential implications for accountants currently operating on a limited licence for providing financial advice. Interestingly, Stephen formerly enjoyed an excellent collaborative relationship with Slipstream Coaching’s Rachel Wilson, back in the days she was running her accounting firm. He talks about what made that relationship so beneficial for mutual clients and his views on the role of specialisation in offering solutions to those clients.
