Celebrating 25 years with Collins Hume — what a milestone!

Couldn't let May pass without Congratulations to Peter Fowler on an incredible 25-year journey!

Peter’s philosophy has always cut through the noise: "We work to live, not live to work." And it shows in the way he advises — helping business owners design businesses that support the life they actually want, not just the one they fall into.

“Business by design, not by default” isn’t just a line. It’s how Peter approaches everything — from transforming businesses through sharp commercial insight and growth strategy, to mentoring owners and Boards to think bigger, act smarter, and keep perspective.

Across two and a half decades, Peter has built a reputation not just for technical excellence, but for seeing the bigger picture — balancing innovation with practicality, and success with sustainability. A multi-award-winning advisor, recognised as one of Australia’s business leaders, and a genuine champion of work/life balance for his clients and our community.

A huge achievement — and a lasting impact. Here’s to the next chapter.

The 'Resilience and Reform' Budget — we outline the key initiatives here:
https://www.collinshume.com/post/federal-budget-2026-27-at-a-glance

The Government has called this its most ambitious budget and if the proposed measures are implemented, the impact will be felt directly by a wide cross-section of Australian society, including individual taxpayers, investors, businesses, employers and those suffering from a disability.

The year’s budget has been released against a backdrop of significant economic challenges, including global fuel price shocks, persistent inflation, rising interest rates and growing concerns around housing affordability. These themes are reflected in the measures that have been announced by the Treasurer.

While acknowledging that the key to housing affordability is supply, the Government clearly sees changes to negative gearing and the capital gains tax (CGT) discount as being important pieces in the housing affordability puzzle.

While the Government has announced some significant changes to the tax system, the superannuation system looks to have been left alone this year.
