Saccasan Bailey joins Guild
Guild Insurance & Financial Services (the Guild Group) is in a period of strong growth, both organic and through strategic acquisitions. In line with current strategy, the Guild Group has taken a majority interest in Sydney-based accounting practice, Saccasan Bailey Partners (SBP), and has fully acquired its financial planning business.
The partners, Bruce Bailey and Peter Saccasan, will retain equity in the accounting business and join the leadership team at the Guild Group. They will work with senior management at the Guild Group to continue growing their client base. Bruce Bailey said, "Joining forces with Guild allows us to expand the integrated financial services we can offer our clients. Whether they be involved in pharmacy, aged care, child care or other business and investment activities." Peter Saccasan added that "whilst the relationship will no doubt enhance SBP's contribution to the pharmacy industry, the exciting prospect is that the Guild Group offering supports a range of professional services which will be of benefit to all SBP clients."
Brian Benger, Managing Director of the Guild Group, stated, "I'm delighted to have a premium organisation like Saccasan Bailey Partners form part of the Guild Group. The fit between the two companies is highly complementary in terms of culture and values. Together we can offer our clients a broad range of services - insurance, financial, legal, accounting and business advisory."
The Guild Group's delivery of superior personal service will be strengthened by the excellent strategic fit between the two businesses. According to Mr Benger, the organisation's deep pool of talented professionals share a commitment to teamwork and integrity, and will continue to provide outstanding personal service to clients. Guild will have additional capacity in financial planning, and the addition of this accounting business will give Guild's existing clients greater access to professional support services.
