The difference

Your numbers, structure and exit, planned together

Most owners deal with an accountant, a lawyer and an agent separately. I work across all three, so the advice fits together.

Has sat in the CFO chair

As a Group CFO, Company Secretary and COO, I talk numbers with your accountant and strategy with your board.

One adviser for tax, structure and sale

A registered tax agent and registered real estate salesperson, so the sale, the structure and the tax are planned together.

Numbers that stand up

Forensic accounting experience, including family law assistance, means figures that hold up when someone else tests them.

Project-based, plain English

Defined engagements with a clear outcome. You know what is being done, why, and what it will cost.

Problems get expensive when nobody looks at the structure, the tax and the numbers together. I'd rather we looked early.
