Bramble and Briar

Bramble and Briar We're an accounting practice that helps businesses thrive - we'll streamline your tax and bookkeepin We'll do that too.

Most people get into business because they love what they do. Which doesn't involve spending their valuable time looking at the books. We started Bramble and Briar because we love helping other people deal with theirs less. We're a full service accounting practice which means we work with businesses from their inception (eg setting up the most effective structures given individual circumstances, i

mplementing Xero ect), while they grow (being someone to bounce ideas off, general business advisory including payroll, ongoing accounting/bookkeeping support, tax compliance including BAS lodgement ect), adding value to mature businesses (Virtual CFO services, internal review of systems/processes, cash flow planning ect), right through to succession planning and preparation to sell a business. Want to look after your own books but just need someone to show you the ropes and provide adhoc support? Knowledge is king, so we'll empower you with the information required to manage things yourself and we're just a phone call away if you get stuck. We're not the standard accountants that you visit once a year at tax time, we're a business partner that genuinely adds value to your business. We love helping businesses grow by giving them the support and tools to streamline their finance function. We offer a no obligation introductory chat. We love to meet new people and hear about what they are passionate about, so if it's coffee or a catch up over Skype, please get in contact.
