Where are we?
A digital firm conducting appointments via Zoom or Google Meet — so anywhere in Australia. We also have physical offices in Marrickville and Earlwood, Sydney Inner-West.
Who are our clients?
Property investors, small business owners, and short-term rental operators who want specialist tax and accounting advice. We work with a select number of committed clients to ensure an intimate, hands-on service.
The story of this practice
The firm began life as Rider Business Consulting & Advisors in 1999, based in Pitt St in Sydney's CBD. After growing rapidly over 15 years working with mid-tier companies, a rebranding during COVID shifted the focus to small business clients, property advice and tax — with a committed Xero-certified partner and specialist investment property client base.
What we do for businesses
We setup new business structures for startups and entrepreneurs, engage in tax planning, and support new-economy businesses including Uber, Airbnb, Cryptocurrency, Airtasker, Crowd Source Funding, eCommerce, and the Sharing Economy.
