Our Approach
Proactive Navigation Meeting (PNM)
If you’re keen to improve your business performance and financial results but don’t feel you are being supported enough by your current accountant – book your free consultation with us. We’ll arrange a complimentary PNM to review your unique situation and discuss how we may be able to support you.
During the meeting we’ll identify your burning issues, opportunities and potential tax efficiencies, and establish goals and strategies to achieve them. We’ll also have a strategic discussion around the current and future direction of your entities.
Following the meeting, if required, we’ll prepare a proposal for services, with all costs priced upfront, whether this be strictly for Business Improvement work and / or compliance.
Complimentary Client Review (CCR)
As a valued client, you’ll receive at least one CCR. In fact, this is an annual event for a number of our clients. The CCR is an opportunity for you to set and review your goals and gives you clarity around the actions you need to take to achieve those goals. It also stimulates strategic discussion and identifies burning issues, opportunities and challenges so that you respond effectively. And of course, it’s an opportunity for our team to identify greater tax efficiencies and asset protection.
