“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

Stephen Michaels has enjoyed a remarkable career journey, rising from the inaugural support role at Catalyst Advisers 11 years ago to earning the prestigious No. 1 ranking in MPA’s Top 100 Brokers 2024. His success stems from his deep understanding that every client’s financial needs are unique and his unwavering commitment to providing tailored guidance to ensure the best possible outcomes. At the heart of Michaels’ approach is meticulous management of each transaction, from the initial consultation to settlement, creating a seamless, stress-free experience for his clients.
While Michaels’ industry acclaim, including five consecutive years in MPA’s Top 100 Brokers list, speaks to his expertise, it’s the consistent five-star service ratings from his loyal clients that bring him the greatest satisfaction. Today, he not only continues to excel in his own practice but also leads and mentors a team of elite brokers. His team focuses on delivering a premium customer service experience, particularly to high-net-worth individuals and SMEs.
For Michaels, success isn’t just about professional achievements; it’s about the hope, energy and drive to conquer any challenge, constantly reinvent himself and give back to both his clients and the industry he is so passionate about.
