More than recruitment. A complete growth ecosystem.

ACG Growth Partners works with wealth managers, financial advisers and practice owners as a long-term strategic partner — so every decision you make about people, capacity and ownership is made with the full picture in view.

Why firms choose a Growth Partner

Two very different approaches. One clearly better outcome.

Traditional recruitment

  • Pay high placement fees for every hire
  • Start the search from scratch each time
  • Different recruiter, different approach, different results
  • Limited access to quality, pre-vetted candidates
  • Reactive hiring — when the problem already exists
  • No long-term strategy or succession planning
  • No support with book acquisitions or practice growth
  • Hidden costs and unpredictable spend

ACG Growth Partner

  • Lower recruitment fees through exclusive membership pricing
  • A dedicated recruitment consultant who knows your business
  • Proactive talent pipeline of pre-qualified professionals
  • Priority access to top talent and passive candidates
  • Strategic hiring aligned to your growth and succession goals
  • Book-acquisition support to grow AUM and revenue
  • Succession planning and leadership continuity support
  • Predictable costs, measurable results, sustainable growth

The Growth Partner Guarantee. If during your 12-month membership your business does not recruit through ACG, we will extend your membership for an additional 3 months at no cost.

How we operate

Principles are only worth stating if something backs them. Each of these is tied to a term, a process or a status you can check.

  • We carry the risk on a placement

    A 12-month replacement warranty and 12-month introduction protection are written into the agreement, subject to signed terms.

  • Confidentiality is structural

    Candidate details reach an employer only with approval, and seller information reaches a buyer only in writing. Confidential mandates publish under a descriptor, never a client name.

  • One consultant owns your mandate

    From Essential upward you have a named consultant, and at Elite a senior partner. Not a queue and not a rotating account manager.

  • We verify before you interview

    Reference, employment and qualification checks are completed before a shortlist reaches you, with regulatory status confirmed for advice roles.

  • We stand behind the membership

    If you do not recruit through ACG during a 12-month membership, the Growth Partner Guarantee extends it by three months at no cost.

  • Level 2 B-BBEE Contributor

    ACG Corporate Group (Pty) Ltd holds Level 2 contributor status, verifiable on request.
