Services Overview

Guerdon Associates provides governance services to company boards. Our focus is on ensuring boards are able to effectively engage on critical governance issues, including executive and board remuneration and board effectiveness.

Our services allow boards to review, assess and adapt their governance functions to achieve high performance outcomes. Importantly, because our engagement is exclusively with boards and nomination and remuneration committees, we avoid the conflicts of interest that may arise when these requirements are delegated to management, or to external service providers who service both management and the board.

Why Boards Partner with Guerdon Associates

Independence: We are independent advisers. Usually our clients are company boards. We do not sell services of higher value to people within a company who may otherwise benefit from remuneration advice we provide to their boards. We do not sell insurance, offer software, perform statutory account audits, run wealth management platforms, eliminating the structural conflicts common in generalist HR or accounting firms.

Pioneers in Market Practice: Guerdon Associates and its founders introduced many of the core mechanisms now standard across ASX-listed entities, including performance rights, relative TSR hurdles, and advanced risk-adjustment mechanisms.

Proprietary Market Intelligence: Our advice is backed by extensive research engines, tracking real-time proxy voting trends, AGM outcomes, CEO pay dynamics, regulatory shifts, financial trends, and much more. While we use artificial intelligence, humans with decades of experience develop the AI queries, combine AI agents, review AI outcomes, and use human judgement to combine and weight the highly complex financial, economic, legal, actuarial, psychosocial, and strategic factors for optimal client advice.

Global Footprint, Local Authority: As a founding partner of the GECN Group, we offer seamless international reach for cross-border talent requirements, led by your local experts here in Sydney.
