SMSF Hero – fundraising event for Brooke Hepburn-Rogers

  • Tues, 6 June, 2023 10am-1pm AEST

  • EX GST

Within a growing SMSF sector, it is a relatively small industry of professionals that connect across many different professions. Forging working relationships and friendships across the sector, when an industry colleague needs help, it’s time to stand up and provide much needed hope.

Brooke Hepburn-Rogers is a SMSF Specialist and Registered Tax Agent with 15+ years industry experience, based in Canberra. She is much loved by her clients, as the Founder and Managing Director of Foxton Financial, but also by her many friends within the SMSF industry. Brooke also commits her time towards being a volunteer firefighter with the ACT Rural Fire Service (RFS) Volunteer Brigades Association.

Brooke, at the age of 41 was diagnosed with stage 4 Gliosarcoma – an incurable, brain cancer. Having worked through 7 weeks of radiation, and 10 weeks of chemo, she has learnt about immunotherapy treatment that is not currently available in Australia. Therefore, she is travelling to Germany to get the help she needs.

Brooke needs to raise $50,000, and as an industry the best way we could help was to host an event, run entirely by people prepared to donate their time and resources to help give Brooke the chance she needs.

We’ve put together 3 of Australia’s most recognised SMSF specialists to provide a fully accredited CPD event (3 hours) in the hope that we can raise at least $20,000 for Brooke. Our speakers will provide valuable insights into the latest topics, issues and strategies you need to be considering with your SMSF clients.

Help make a difference by registering for this event, whilst we help to keeping your CPD ontrack in the lead up to 30 June.
