"I don't see this changing in any way; we're going to maintain the Count brand and maintain the open architecture approved product list (APL)," Count chief executive David Lane told InvestorDaily.
"We continue to maintain an open architecture APL; when we reduced the prices on the BT platform in June that largely took the noise [concerning its independence] out of the question."
Count has also lowered fees on the Colonial First State platform and is currently in discussions with IOOF and Perpetual.
In January, a CBA spokesperson told InvestorDaily that the group did not intend to make any significant changes to the management or direction of Count in the coming year and intended to grow and operate the business on a standalone basis under the Count name.
CBA acquired the financial planning and accounting business on the basis of its success as an autonomous and self-directed business, Mr Lane said.
"You don't buy a terrific company because you like its business model and then completely change the business model," he said.
"We have remained independent and we would not be growing in numbers if we didn't do that.
"Our members are very smart and sophisticated so they want to feel that they can provide the best advice and the best products to their clients."
Count's operations have transpired positively throughout the year, helped by listening and delivering to its membership, Mr Lane said.
"In the end, our sole purpose is to support our advisers and therefore we have to make sure we understand what they want and how we can help them grow.
"We've not only listened but we've delivered and it has fundamentally changed the mood of our advisers. We are now at a point where there's a real positive energy within the group."
CBA's $373 million acquisition of Count was completed in December last year.
