The Stages element can be used as a method of graphically representing milestones in timeline (by year) and stages (phases) of process.

See below the examples of company historical timeline and stages (steps) of the process.

Stages: years

1998

The beginning

Benchmark Strategic was officially formed on November 11th 1998 by four colleagues who had worked together with Richard Smart at Benchmark Consulting, a tax and accounting firm. They chose the name "Benchmark Strategic" as it embodied the aspirational culture of what they hoped to achieve, one of combined wisdom, teamwork and collective expertise.

2000

Specialising on financial planning

This year marked our decision to focus entirely on financial planning and objective investment advice. Prior to this we had worked in a number of different sectors, but this focus gave us the opportunity to explore our true potential in providing services that could make a real difference to people's lives.

2009

Moving to our current office

Our office in Toowoomba were unexpectedly sold to a new owner so we had to set about finding a new home. As we continued to grow our staff, later that year we moved into our current office space in Brisbane.

2018

Continued growth

On November 11th 2018, we celebrated our 20th birthday. We are proud to be where we are today and proud to celebrate 20 years of teamwork. We are a boutique firm and we thrive on building long-term relationships with our clients. Our process is an opportunity for us to get to know our clients exceptionally well.
