Amanda Stichbury Auditor

Amanda Stichbury mission is to be our clients first choice provider of specialists at Melbourne Accountant. Adding valued consultancy services to assist them effectively managing their business in an ever changing risk environment.

While established industry professional guidelines, practices are an ideal base upon which to create your own operational and procedural practices, following these benchmarks will not lead to business prosperity.

Gone are the days of the abacus, accountants have been trusted and respected allies to small business owners everywhere. Their intimate knowledge of the profession as well as tax laws in their jurisdiction will save you money almost every time. I know how tempting it can be to save and do it yourself, but it’s almost never more cost-efficient in the end. An accountant will almost always find more deductions and keep you penalty-free.The cleaner your records, the fewer billable hours you’ll have to pay, so make sure you’re organized year-round. But when things get technical or taxes are due, save yourself the money, time and headaches and call in a trusted professional.
