differently

A bit about us

We're a values-led, Geelong-based accounting and advisory firm helping small business owners win at life (and the tax game).

We are
not
a tax return mill where careers go to die. Our work is dynamic and spans across compliance, tax planning, structuring, SMSF, and business advisory. We go beyond box ticking. We actually care about building great businesses, lasting relationships, and a culture that feels good to be a part of.

We're growing, and we're proud of what we're building:

  • No egos

  • No corporate fluff, red tape, or stuffy suits

  • No missing dinner because someone's "circling back" at 6:45pm

Our Director, Marc explains it better here:
