About Brian

I'm a qualified Accountant and registered BAS Agent with over 10 years of experience helping Australian businesses get on top of their finances and stay there. My career has taken me from Melbourne to Brisbane and now Sydney, giving me a broad perspective on the challenges businesses face across the country — and a deep appreciation for the resilience of Australian small business owners.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce from Federation University and a Bachelor of Laws from Deakin University, complemented by a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from Leo Cussen. That combination of accounting and legal training means I can help clients not just with their numbers, but with understanding the full picture of their obligations and opportunities.

My passion is simple: I want to see Australian industry grow, develop, and thrive. I'm a firm believer that small businesses are the backbone of this country, and I take real satisfaction in helping founders stay compliant, reduce their tax burden, and focus on what they do best — building something great.

Whether you're lodging your first BAS or navigating the complexities of running an established business, I'm here to make the process straightforward, so you can get back to doing what you love.

Areas of Expertise:

  • BAS preparation and lodgement

  • Tax compliance and planning

  • Business advisory for SMEs

  • Accounting for start-ups and growing businesses
