Scarcity of expertise

Of the people who have the expertise to handle this type of work, most are in the ‘Big 4’ tax firms of Australia, charging high rates.   We offer a credible alternative, delivering comparable service in a more personalised manner.

Experience

Having worked in some of the ‘Big 4’ firms, we have the experience and knowledge of the Big End of Town, but with the personal touch of a local accountant.  

Legal Solutions

Unlike smaller firms, we have the distinction of being part of the Mobile Workforce Collaborative (MWC), which has representation in over 140 locations worldwide. Through this partnership, our clients benefit from our relationships with advisors all over the globe to ensure an understanding of how foreign tax laws interact with Australia’s international tax regulations.
