Employee testimonials

Danica Warren

Associate – Fixed Income

"I joined FIIG in October 2014 as a Dealer Assistant for the Perth Office. When I started at FIIG I had just finished University, during my time here I’ve had access to a lot of training and education which has allowed me to further my knowledge in the bond market; which wasn’t something we focused on greatly at university. One of the benefits of working for FIIG is the Clients, I feel our clients are a really interesting group of people who have thought outside of the square of where to invest their money, and especially in Perth our clients are very innovative people and always have an interesting story to tell."

Justin Cantle

Head of Software Delivery

"I joined in 2012 within the IT team as a Technical Business analyst. The first major piece of work I was involved in was the design of the secondary trading Order Management System and Facilitation inventory management and order execution screens. This was designed, built and tested by the IT team within a very short space of time considering the level of complexity and is still going strong today. What I have enjoyed most about working for FIIG is being on the journey over the last 5 years to where we are now with the OneFIIG programme; Being part of the team that takes an idea that the business has, developing it and evolving it with them and then seeing it get built and used as intended; Working with a group of smart, entertaining and dedicated people that enjoy what they do and know how to have fun."

Lachlan Marshall

Client Services Manager

"I started at FIIG in October 2014 as an Officer in the Client Services team Brisbane. I had just returned home from 3 years living and working in London, and FIIG gave me a great opportunity to directly apply some of the knowledge and experience I had gained, particularly related to corporate bonds. Within 8 months I was given the chance to step-up to Team Leader in Brisbane and 2 years later became the Client Services Manager nationally, based in Sydney. Being a small-to-medium sized company FIIG has taught me the importance of creating and maintaining relationships both internally with my colleagues and externally with stakeholders, in order to help achieve strategic goals. FIIG is a great company to work for no matter what office you are in. The people and culture lead to an open and collaborative workspace where everyone’s ideas can be heard and high performance is recognised."
