Business is personal, so our advice is too

Being in business is exciting and rewarding. But it’s also stressful, complex and full of tough calls. That’s why the most successful business owners don’t go it alone - they seek the right support.

We’re more than accountants crunching your numbers. We’re strategic business advisors and industry experts, guiding you through decisions, helping you spot opportunities and keeping you accountable.

Business is personal – and so is our advice. Our professionals get to know you, ask the hard questions, give straight-up feedback, shake up the status quo, and deliver advice that matters, so you can hit your goals and live life on your terms – whatever stage of business you’re in.

Are we a good fit?

If you’re an individual after individual tax returns, general accounting or bookkeeping, we’re probably not the team for you.

We work best with small to medium businesses led by one or more directors – businesses that want a proactive, strategic partner in their corner.

We’re Hunter-first, but we have staff across New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria – and we provide advice and support business owners across our great country.

Select your business stage

The best way to dive into our tailored solutions is by business stage: set up, growth, maturity or succession. This ensures your journey with us begins where you are now – and is focused on where you’re headed.

Set up

laying the foundations

Growth

tackling fresh challenges

Maturity

considering your options

Succession

What our clients say

We’ve helped hundreds of clients as they’ve set up, grown, diversified and exited their businesses - but don’t just take our word for it.

Scott and his team at Maxim personify world-class service with a local, personalised touch. It’s second to none. No request or task is too much trouble for them. They’ll find a way to support your business and offer a helpful solution. They’re much more than just an advisor - when faced with a business challenge or crisis, as a small business owner, they’re one of the first people I think to contact, even if just to bounce an idea off.

Kirsty FillisConsilium Australia Pty Ltd

I didn’t know if my new building company was making money, my books were a mess, and I knew something had to change. Things certainly did when I engaged business advisers Damien Cameron, Chris Henshaw and their team. They took a genuine interest in what we were trying to achieve and have a hands-on approach. A huge weight has been lifted because I know my business is in good hands with people who want to see us succeed.

Cass and the Maxim team have supported the growth of SDA from our inception, backing us from the very beginning through to providing second-to-none accounting and business advisory for our business performance now and into the future. Not only are they amazing accountants (with personalities!), they’re also good friends and mentors. It’s refreshing to work collaboratively with such a great group of people with great skills.
