Although he is a specialist in the Real Estate Industry, he services a range of clients from high wealth individuals to large family business groups.

businessDEPOT

businessDEPOT are multidisciplinary business advisors on a mission to help passionate individuals and businesses reach their potential. They do it with collaboration, expertise, insight and energy.

They offer core services similar to other accounting and advisory firms e.g. strategic business planning, superannuation, tax, advisory, valuations, estate planning, bookkeeping and legal. However, they differentiate in two key areas.

1. Collective Services

In addition to their core services, businessDEPOT offers their clients access to a range of specialists in a variety of areas that can help them further grow their business and unleash their potential.

So whether you're an innovative startup looking to access grants, a professional services firm looking for advice on generating new leads, or just need some help with your website, they can recommend a collective member to deliver the same level of service and results you'd expect from businessDEPOT.

2. A Co-working Hub - a hive of activity...a place for sharing ideas!

businessDEPOT have created a dedicated coworking space in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley for collaboration between their team, clients and collective partners; a space to meet, work, network and learn.

Let's face it, the home office can be isolating and constricting to those creative juices, so a co-working arrangement like The Hub can help generate ideas and most importantly, make them happen. Collective members and clients can utilise this space for remote working, meetings and more; plus they hold regular events, functions and talks aimed at fostering our network and adding value to their clients and partners.

Located in the buzzing James St precinct, the Hub co-working space is a hive of creativity and action.

Stop by for a coffee.
