The appointment of Mr Gardiner follows Link Group’s decision to take a stake in Moneysoft in October, with the two companies aiming to develop products to “help superannuation fund members manage their overall wealth”, Moneysoft said.
“Superannuation is, on average, the second most valuable asset behind the family home, yet few Australians give it the attention it deserves until close to retirement,” Mr Gardiner said.
“Moneysoft’s suite of budgeting and cash flow tools give super funds and financial planners the opportunity to change that by forging closer ties with their members and clients from the outset.”
Moneysoft managing director Peter Malekas said Mr Gardiner would “bring a wealth of experience” to his new role with the board.
“Moneysoft is on a strong growth trajectory as more and more financial planners and mortgage brokers recognise the benefits of offering cash flow as a service,” Mr Malekas said.
“Paul’s appointment to the board will help propel that growth by opening a range of new strategic opportunities.”
