Our philosophy is to be committed to understanding the owners and families behind the businesses Maxim Business Advisors is one of Newcastle’s largest locally owned accounting and advisory firms. In 2021 Maxim Accounting & Business Advisors (MABA) and Forsythes Business Advisors (FBA) merged to create this boutique team of strategic accountants, business advisors and financial analysts, with a wid

e professional network. FBA’s reputation for delivering exemplary accounting and business advice is supported by its 70 year legacy. Kellie Wright became a director in 2010 & Warwick Turnbull was appointed in 2012. MABA was founded in 1997 by Chris Sneddon and Steve Roxby. Strong relationships were quickly formed to establish a client service philosophy that has been tried and tested for more than 25 years. Damien Cameron, Cassandra Sharp and Scott Brooks were promoted as Directors in 2019. Together, the now seven Directors boast a combined experience of 150 years in providing accounting and business advisory expertise. Our philosophy is to always be committed to understanding the owners and families behind the businesses, to build trust, ask hard questions, listen, challenge, provide feedback and, most importantly, to truly care. Our clients enjoy the unique experience of having a team of experts working together, sharing ideas and collaborating, rather than competing with each other, and ultimately ensuring that our client’s best interests are at the heart of everything we do.

POV: life at Maxim ☕🌊

From morning coffee runs and team lunches at local favourites to golf days, beach walks and plenty happening behind the scenes, no two days are the same.

We love being part of the Newcastle community and supporting the local businesses that make this region such a great place to live and work.

It takes a village...

One thing we really value is having a network of trusted professionals we can connect our clients with when they need a little extra support.

We recently caught up with the team from NAB, one of the many referral partners we’ve built relationships with over the years.

Knowing and trusting the people we refer our clients to means we can help connect them with the right support and expertise when they need it.

What do we love most about our work?

We asked 𝗝𝗮𝘆𝗱𝗲, 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗔 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗕𝗗 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿, what she enjoys best:

“I’ve built some great relationships, shared plenty of laughs and had the opportunity to support clients through the ups and downs of running a business. Those connections are something I really value.”

After 11 years with us, Jayde has got to know some of the people we work with really well. It's hard to imagine doing what we do without getting to know our clients on this level.

The real support team behind Maxim 🐾

They might not prepare reports or solve business challenges, but our pets play an important role in keeping us grounded.

From a wagging tail at the door to a furry visitor on a Teams call, our four-legged (and even woolly) companions bring plenty of smiles, laughs and a welcome pause from busy days.

Your prices might feel right, but do they add up? 🤔

Before you decide what to charge, you need to know what it really costs to run your business and deliver what you offer.

Getting that balance right can make a big difference to your profitability and help you plan what's next.
