The Unicorns Podcast: How Xynon is redefining financial advice

The Unicorns Podcast connects you to some of the best and brightest founders, CEOs, executives, business owners, innovators, entrepreneurs and inspiring leaders who make things happen and inspire others.

Host Justin Kelly, former broadcast journalist and PR veteran, chats with leaders from across Australia and internationally about business strategy, what it takes to build a successful company, how to overcome challenges and advice for those on a similar journey.

In this episode, Justin speaks with Shantanu Jha and Wes Hall, co-founders of Xynon, a new wealth-tech platform that is reimagining how financial advisers manage client outcomes.

Xynon is flipping the traditional model by starting at the broker infrastructure layer rather than the registry, embedding real-time compliance, AI-powered reporting, and seamless execution into its platform. Backed by the muscle of Morrison Securities and designed for adviser-led firms under $1 billion in assets, Xynon is aiming to empower boutiques and mid-tier practices with the same scale and control as the industry’s largest players.

Shantanu and Wes share the journey of building Xynon from the ground up, why they believe Australia is the perfect launch market, and how their infrastructure-first approach positions them for global growth. They also discuss the challenges facing advisers today, the limitations of incumbent platforms, and their vision for how technology can reshape the trillion-dollar wealth advice industry.

It’s a conversation about disruption, innovation, and the future of financial advice – and how two founders are building a platform designed to give advisers and their clients more control, clarity, and confidence.

This podcast was developed in collaboration with Xynon, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.
