2019 – a year of expansion at FA Solutions

We started the year with a bang – by opening a new office in central London. This was only the beginning of international growth for FA Solutions in 2019. Throughout the year, we have also welcomed multiple new clients from Europe and our first customer from Africa into the FA Family. What’s more, we also kick-started partnerships in Botswana and Nigeria. We are grateful for our clients’ and partners’ confidence in FA, and we look forward to growing together in 2020.

Throughout the year we organised multiple interesting seminars and receptions as well as took part in several industry events around the world. And the main highlight of the year was the third annual FA User Summit which took place in lovely Croatia this September. In the 2019 edition, we had over 90 attendees altogether from 10 countries, representing over 20 different companies across 7 sectors of the Wealth Management industry. This 2-day event provided lots of insights, product knowledge, and brilliant networking opportunities for our clients.

Besides welcoming new clients and partners, the FA Family also grew internally in 2019 across all three offices. In the Helsinki headquarters, we greeted four new colleagues in the Professional Services, Marketing, and Product Development teams during this year. A new salesperson joined our UK office in August and in Stockholm, we also welcomed four new people who will strengthen FA’s Swedish Professional Services team.
