In this exclusive interview, Allan Mason -Kerry Packer’s accountant shares:
Many times clients need us to pull a rabbit out of the hat, to do the impossible. One such situation occurred with a client in the health care industry.
After many years of research and difficulty they finally perfected an anti-wrinkle cream that they could prove worked. In their first year of release they made more than $3m profit.
We listen to understand and acknowledge our clients
We explain things in plain English
Our fees are value-based not time based, agreed in advance, so there are no surprise invoices
You can pay by the month to help smooth your cashflow
Not all accountants are the same. Unfortunately like all professionals there is a difference. We offer a personalised professional service at a level unseen in smaller firms. Why? Because we care.
As Chartered Accountants our services range from general accounting work, BAS’s and auditing. Encore Accounting is one of the few accounting firms able to provide auditing services to self-managed superannuation funds, trust accounts for real estate agents, travel agents lawyers and other accounting firms.
We are registered with the Australian Taxation Office as Tax Agents and with ASIC as ASIC agents. With over 30 years of experience we are able to provide a complete service to small businesses with all of their accounting, tax and regulatory needs.
Owning your own business can be tough. The bank, managing staff, managing cash flow, customers and the economy come together to make the lot of a small business owner harder today than ever before. You know the feeling, sometimes you wish that you were simply an employee. But deep down you know this would not satisfy you. You need the challenge… but you also need help.
WHAT WE DO
We have ideas and strategies to help you grow
I had never run my own business before but had managed large catering and hospitality venues for large companies. So I really needed help when it came to the business side of things.
Allan has always been there for me and has helped me through some hectic times, and when making difficult decisions. With over 200 staff he has been invaluable in helping me keep my businesses on track to succeed.
In 2012 we won 4 awards including the best business for 2012. We were presented with our awards both on the Central Coast and then in Sydney at the Hordern Pavilion.
At my acceptance speech I thanked Allan Mason for the help he provided in propelling our business in ways we never thought possible. He quietly with simple advice steered us on the right track. Nothing was ever an issue and we needed help at this critical stage of the business.
He also saved us heaps of tax and with his clever structuring so that we were able to purchase a new building totally debt free.
As I said at the awards, we can’t thank Allan enough for his valuable help.
“I believe the true test of an accountant is someone you can consult with to help you come up with ways to do things. Someone that is easy to talk to.
I have owned and operated many businesses over the years and had many accountants. Some were OK, some were not so good. I believe Allan to be the best accountant I have ever used.”
