About us

At AC Accounting and Business Solutions, we operate under what’s known as the Trusted Adviser Model. It’s an involved ideology, but what it boils down to is this: we will work our butts off to earn your trust and build a strong business relationship.

You’ll find us engaging, understanding, thoughtful and considerate as we take the time to learn all the unique ins and outs of your life and/or business. If that means (gladly) trudging across few dozen hectares to check out your livestock, or spending a couple of hours travelling beyond Ballarat to sample your fare first hand, we’re in. And, best of all, all this warmth and fuzziness won’t cost you a cent. As trusted advisors, we place a premium on strengthening our relationships – not the cold, fiscal outcome of the transaction.

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.
