Accountancy professional body ICAEW has partnered with technology firm RQ to launch an online platform enabling Chartered Accountants and Financial Planners to refer clients.

Financial advisers who seek referrals from solicitors and accountants have seen a surge in new client enquiries, according to new research.

Unbiased, the directory and lead generating service used by many Financial Planners and advisers, is to raise its charge for passing on consumer enquiries from 1 June - but has defended the increase as the first in four years.

National IFA firm Tenet is the first adviser support group to partner with the new referral tracking platform, TrackerHub.
