About us
At Defacto we know that dealing with all the finances of your business can be a mammoth task! Be it keeping an eye on deadlines for accounts and taxes, being on top of cash flow and tax planning or just the day to day burden of keeping up to date with ever changing rules for VAT, payroll and employee pensions.
Whether you are looking for help with all levels of your business finance or just need your yearend accounts and business or personal returns prepared. That’s where we can help. Our goal through honest advice and an approachable style is for you to see Defacto FD as an extension to your business and not just a detached external advisor. Within Defacto we work in small compact teams which means that you have your own dedicated accountant who understands your 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.
