WHAT CAN THE FISCAL BRIDGE DO FOR YOU ?

A common question from business people and farmers is ‘what can you do for my business and what is your point of difference ?’

Small businesses usually cannot afford to employ a full time accountant on their staff so they generally opt for bookkeepers and external accountants to help them fulfill their compliance obligations [ BAS’s and tax returns]. Sometimes they attempt to do the bookkeeping themselves.

That arrangement tends to work really effectively until an unusual event takes place such as buying or selling a business, restructuring, serious solvency issues, matrimonial problems, succession planning or retirement, declining profits or growth, an untimely death or illness, estate planning, long term financial planning and superannuation or any other important issue that is not impacted by a BAS or tax return.

Who do you turn to then for advice?

Presumably you will talk to close friends and family. You will also speak to trusted bookkeepers or tax agents. Perhaps you will go to a local solicitor or financial planner.

But ultimately the process of discovering what to do, when to do it and how to do it will depend on YOU.

This is where The Fiscal Bridge and Don MacNeil can help.

With over 40 years of accounting experience Don can plan everything you need to address and surround you with hand picked professionals in fields of tax, law, financial planning, accounting and a wide range of related disciplines which can help you through any business or personal challenges facing you.

You do not have to find all the answers yourself.

Don will bring a unique set of skills to assist you and your family. He will cut through the complex tax reports and highlight important facts and trends. He can undertake assignments quickly and effectively because he is NOT burdened with ATO lodgment programs. He has the time and experience to proactively help you understand your business from a different viewpoint. He has the experience of an auditor to forensically analyze business records to find out what ‘levers you need to pull’. To drill down into business data and find out what is going on takes a blend of skills, experience and professional intuition that can only be developed over many years in public practice.

That is The Fiscal Bridge’s point of difference.

When you face big challenges call Don MacNeil at the earliest possible stage to see if he can help. Don’t wait and try to fumble your way through serious matters that might require a very careful touch. Don’t rely on people who do not have the time, qualifications, experience or professional contacts. Get an independent second opinion from Don on the best way forward. Often a brief discussion can determine whether The Fiscal Bridge is needed or not.

Don has helped many clients sell businesses, buy businesses, retire, change strategies to make more profit, train key staff to become better leaders, set up self managed super funds and many other business related issues. Don pulls multi disciplinary teams together [ solicitors, financial planners and tax agents] to get you the best results.

So when you are facing the next big challenge in your business life and you need to bounce some ideas around with an independent, skilled accountant, call Don MacNeil on 0419925851.
