ClearView has appointed Nick Howell as the organisation's new head of advice.

Howell joins from Westpac where he was the operations manager for advice review, a role he held for less than a year, previously holding several roles at BT Financial including as compliance and assurance manager.

Confirming the move to Financial Standard, ClearView Financial Advice CEO Allison Dummett said, "Nick's appointment is part of our strong ongoing commitment to our practices and quality financial advice.

"Professional compliance and advice support is more important than ever and, as a licensee that is growing, we will continue to build our resources and expertise."
