About us

Business can be hard. We get it!

So we’ve created the one place for business owners to go. One where we not only help small to medium businesses [and the people behind them] breakthrough those speed-bumps, hurdles and brick walls they constantly encounter. But give them the peace of mind knowing they can get the advice and support they need all in one place from people they know, like and trust. We want to help you make 'it'​ happen in your business, whatever your 'it'​ may be. We do this by removing the barriers in the way of achieving your vision. This may be something as simple as sorting out your tax, or HR consulting, an estate plan, documenting a deal or coming up with and implementing a marketing strategy for you. This is why we have created businessDEPOT, the "One Place of Business"​.

Please note, Xero doesn't guarantee the service of any one advisor

We don’t review advisor listings and we don’t recommend or guarantee the service provided by any one advisor, so make sure you check them out yourself and get comfortable with them yourself.

Xero certification means that some or all team members have completed courses and been assessed by Xero as proficient in the use of the Xero application.

Xero specialisation means that some or all team members have completed several short learning modules to develop skills in that area.

Xero doesn’t assess any individual advisor’s or firm’s proficiency as an accountant, bookkeeper or financial advisor. And Xero certified advisors and advisors with industry or bank specialisations are not employees of Xero.
