What our Audit & Assurance clients say
BG has been professional and timely in their work and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a professional accounting and auditing firm in Australia.
Our approach
Our approach is unique because, although we are independent, we don’t see ourselves as an external party who simply advises you when things are wrong. Rather we partner you to make improvements that not only achieve compliance, but also make your business better overall.
We dig deeper to understand your industry, business dynamics and goals. And we know from experience that by standing alongside you throughout the year (not just during the annual audit period), your business will be stronger and more successful.
We pride ourselves on being available and responsive so that you see us as trusted business advisors, and you can turn to us at any time.
We have approximately 20 highly specialised professionals. We aim to maintain a stable team with low turnover, so that your point of contact knows where your business has been and where it is going.
The overall outcome is that your business doesn’t just tick the audit box – we deliver a service that improves management information systems and reporting, so better decisions can be made.
You can count on us during the twists and turns of your business journey
