Commonly asked questions

Got questions about our services? Here are some that people often ask when they’re looking into working with us.

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 and sustainable growth. We also work with directors and business owners who want guidance on self-managed superfunds (SMSFs) as part of their business growth and personal wealth strategy.

Numbers matter, but so do decisions. Above and beyond crunching figures and financial statements, we give you advice, ideas and insights so you can make confident strategic decisions and business moves. We’re your sounding board, strategist, and accountability partner rolled into one.

Okay is fine, but thriving is better. Even successful businesses benefit from fresh eyes, new ideas, and expert advice to make financial decisions, spot growth opportunities, reduce risks, and plan for the future.

Don’t want to sack your current chartered accountants because you already have a good relationship with them? Fair call. You can carry on working with them for your financial data and compliance, and bring us in for that strategic business advice.

Every business is unique – that’s why we say, business is personal. We start by understanding your situation, goals, and stage of growth. From here, we tailor the services you actually need – whether it’s compliance, financial forecasting, strategic planning or succession advice.

We’re as hands-on or hands-off as you need! Some clients want strategic guidance only, others want us involved in accounting services, forecasting, planning, or monthly financial reporting. Either way, we keep you informed, supported and in control.

100%. As your business and financial advisors, we ask the tough questions, give straight-up feedback, and challenge assumptions. This approach helps you make smarter decisions and discover opportunities you might otherwise miss.

Yes. We know running a business isn’t 9–5, but we also know it shouldn’t take over your life. We help you plan smarter, stay on top of the numbers with business accounting, including at tax time, and free up space to focus on what matters – your life, your family and your goals.

Absolutely. While we’re business advisors and accountants in Newcastle and the Hunter-first, we have remote staff across New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, and work with clients right across this great country. It’s not about where you are, it’s about right fit – and we bring the same personalised, practical approach.
