As we reported last August, FY23 was a year of turnaround and change for SelfWealth and it is pleasing to see that because of this action, the positive momentum in profitability has continued. And importantly, we have now achieved five consecutive quarters of positive cashflow and reduced our operating cost base by 20.7%. During the period, we appointed a new CEO and continued our Board renewal with the appointment to the Board in November 2023 of Adam Lewis, ex-partner of McKinsey & Company.

The new team are highly experienced industry executives and have the expertise and know-how SelfWealth needs to scale the business for long-term, sustainable growth.
