I have been operating as an AR with McCormick Harris since late 2005. Prior to that I was a Responsible Officer for a brokerage with all the laborious tasks of maintaining a licence. The relationship with the McCormick Harris team has developed significantly over that time, and all of us in the Sydney office feel part of the organisation without losing our independence of operating a well respected brokerage. The only thing missing are the compliance requirements that need ongoing attention.
