Education and Advisory. Oh yeah, some tax too.
Our Mission
We are data nerds, growth enthusiasts and lingo translators. We are helping businesses grow sustainably, through education and advice.
Most people get into business because they love what they do. Which doesn't involve spending their valuable time looking at the books. We started Bramble and Briar because we love helping other people deal with theirs less.
Our services fall into two distinct streams - improve the technology used to power your business (cloud integration) or use those numbers to maximise profit and minimise tax (services). We work differently, and if you are ready to be proactive and work together we might be the right people for you.
You have a killer business idea - but want to talk to someone about the best way to start it as a business? Typically, we discuss types of structures that your business could form, and also how to start your business low cost but then the implications and timing for perhaps setting up a company later down the track.
We have a hands on former CFO on board, with detailed knowledge of the manufacturing and wholesale sectors. This enables us to provide you with tried and tested solutions to improve cash flow, reduce stock holdings and improve efficiencies, helping you get the most out of your business.
You've started your business, and it's grown quickly and now you think it might be time to get in someone with a bit more know-how. We can look at your business, and help you set it up for further growth.
Being female led, with a technology focus has enabled us to create an environment where working part-time is the norm. We strive to be an employer of choice by offering genuine balance.
For our clients, we only work with businesses (and associated humans), to ensure our focus is on the right type of client. Which is one who values their staff. That always pays the staff entitlements. That doesn’t sacrifice quality for cheap savings. That understands part of being a business is paying tax, as it goes to the community.
Xero Gold - which means we know Xero inside and out. So much so, we represent the accounting industry on the Xero Partner Advisory Council
Becoming a Chartered Accountant involves a challenging post-graduate study under supervision. Then to maintain this certification, rigorous standards are required to be upheld.
The ATO doesn’t let just anyone represent them. Which is what this certification means. Professional experience, knowledge, and ongoing training.
If you are hands off with your numbers, maybe we’re not a good fit for you.
If you want to engage and learn and level up? That sounds more like it.
Through a range of events, webinars and blogs (and videos) we’re about empowering you.
Ever wanted an excel cash flow forecast?What about a calculator to work out employee on-costs?
These range from the super specific, to the general business. From how to lodge super, to calculating your minimum hourly rate, we’re always adding new events
