The role of accountants in providing loan advice to SMEs

Business in the past six months has been anything but normal.

Accru is an award-winning network of independently owned accounting firms.

We help businesses grow, thrive and generate wealth for their owners while managing financial risk and compliance.

200+ Professionals, Specialist Advisors and Support Staff in six offices across Australia.

That means we’re big enough to have the experience and knowledge to solve tough financial and business challenges – in Australia or abroad – but we’re small enough to work with you on a personal basis.

Testimonials

Accru Harris Orchard is clearly a stand out in their field. I particularly like the ‘style’ of the management letter – user friendly and not at all threatening. Your audit team are quiet achievers, getting on with the job and able to relate well to me and my Finance team. It’s always a good sign when the CEO is not required to attend many meetings in an audit!

Deb Lee,

Melissa McCrystal and her team at Accru Rawsons have provided outstanding accounting service and advice to my business and myself for over 15 years. I recently undertook a complex re-structure of my affairs with the assistance of Accru who explained this in an easy to understand manner. The outcome of their advice has allowed my financial goals to be achieved earlier than I thought possible

Barry Hatch,

CEO, Innerspace

I appreciate the regular meetings with Michael and Rebecca at Accru Hobart to help improve the profitability of my business. This framework ensures ideas like “Club Majestic” are tested, that I am accountable on those actions, and ready to discuss the outcomes to improve my business at the next meeting.
