Steven P. Rider | CA, CPA, JP
Founder & Managing Director, Tenfold Wealth Group
With over 27 years of experience as a dual-qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) and Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), Steven P. Rider is a pre-eminent authority in property-centric wealth creation. As the head of the TENfold Wealth Group, Steven has evolved the traditional accounting model into a multidisciplinary advisory ecosystem designed to help Australians scale their net worth “tenfold.”
A Legacy of Expertise
Steven’s career began in 1991, leading to the 1999 launch of Rider Business Consulting & Advisors. Over two decades, he scaled his practice to a team of 25, advising mid-tier Australian icons and government bodies, including NSW Lotteries, the Australian Crime Commission, Healthscope Ltd, and Nomura Securities.
In 2004, inspired by the mechanics of rapid property accumulation, Steven transitioned from a corporate advisor to a specialist property strategist. Having bought and sold dozens of properties personally and achieved total debt freedom in 2019, he provides advice backed by real-world skin in the game.
The TENfold Vision
Recognizing that property success is a “finance journey with an asset attached,” Steven founded the Tenfold Wealth Group to provide a seamless, 360-degree solution for sophisticated investors. Under his leadership, the group integrates three core pillars:
Tenfold Wealth Accountants (formerly Rider Accountants & Advisors): A digital-first practice specialising in advanced tax structuring, Airbnb/short-term rental accounting, and SMSF management.
Tenfold Property Finance: A strategic lending arm that moves beyond “interest rates” to focus on “debt architecture,” ensuring investors maintain the serviceability needed to scale from one property to a portfolio of ten.
Tenfold Property Advisory: An end-to-end consultancy that guides investors through the “Seed to Harvest” framework—from initial blueprinting and buyer advocacy to equity release and portfolio optimization.
Philosophy & Approach
Steven is a “54,000-hour accounting champion” who views a mortgage not as a burden, but as strategic capital. He is a Xero Champion and a pioneer of the “Digital Firm” model, allowing him to provide institutional-grade precision with boutique, personal care to clients across Australia.
His mission is simple: to move investors past the “ceiling” of their second property by implementing the same sophisticated entity structures and capital preservation frameworks used by the ultra-wealthy.
Beyond the Numbers
When he isn’t engineering wealth strategies, Steven is a Justice of the Peace and an enthusiast of life’s finer details—whether that’s a round of golf, a rare single malt whisky, or touring the coast on his Harley Davidson.
