Count Limited has made its acquisition of Oracle Group the central plank for its launch of Count Wealth as a “scalable national platform”.

The acquisition was announced by Count on 31 March, but completion of the deal represents the first time the company has formally referenced the centrality of Count Wealth.

Announcing the completion of the Oracle acquisition, Count stated that it represented a milestone in the Group’s growth strategy strengthening its national advice capability while expanding its employed adviser network.

It said that, at completion, the transaction sees Count Limited now supporting approximately $42 billion in funds under advice and $6.2 billion in funds undermanagement.

The company said that following detailed integration planning, it had increased the expected annualised pre-tax cost synergies to $1.25 million, up from the original estimate of $1.0 million, with benefits expected to be realised within 24 months.

The announcement said the acquisition’s Earnings Per Share and balance sheet impacts remained broadly in line with those outlined when the transaction was announced on 31 March 2026.

The transaction was valued at $72.2 million including an upfront consideration of $53.9 million.

Commenting on completion of the transaction and the launch of Count Wealth, Count chief executive and managing director, Hugh Humphrey said it strengthened Count’s position as one of Australia’s leading integrated wealth accounting groups.

“Count Wealth provides a scalable national platform for future growth, bringing together trusted advice, investment expertise and deep client relationships under a unified national brand,” the statement said.
