What we bring

  • Practicality:

    We’re ‘commercial realists’. Good business requires quick and just results – so you can keep doing best what you do – without the vex, cost and distraction.

  • Agility:

    ‘Issues’ can escalate quickly – and require a rapid response. Being so agile – we prefer to come to you – to better understand your business’ operations and needs.

  • Proactivity:

    As advisors, we identify potential problems in your business - before they arise. We’re risk-aware/adverse and know, protection is paramount.

  • Dedication:

    When you retain us, we’re privileged. We’ll return that gratitude.

  • Reliability:

    We’ll always be held to the commitments we make.

  • Contactability:

    You have our personal emails and mobiles for a reason: please use them.

  • Authenticity:

    We’re by no means ‘vanilla’ but, we’re ‘straight-up-and-down’. No Heirs. No Graces.

  • Collaboration:

    Together with our clients, we work with our trusted ‘panel’ of experts including, valuers, accountants, assessors, agents, buyers’ advocates and brokers (both insurance and lenders) and counsel.

  • Familiarity:

    We’ve privileged to have had 12+ years’ local experience in the Hunter region.

Costs Certainty

We’re results based, not time driven.
Our value is not in our time but, our knowledge, experience and advice.

On account of our experience, we offer both fixed and ‘capped’ costs.  (‘Capped’ – where you pay no more than we estimate – or pay less – if it takes us less time.) In disputed matters – we’ll provide a ‘staged’ costs agreement. We can also act on a ‘retainer’ basis – where you pay a fixed monthly fee – particularly tailored to our ‘advisory’ clients.

We realise certainty of spend is crucial to good business. We also believe that time-based costing is an incentive to do ‘less-for-more’ – a non-sensical notion that encourages inefficiency. We’ve been around long enough to know what our work should cost (is worth) – without the need for an Egg-Timer and we’ll stand by it.

Good riddance to the Dreaded Six Minute Unit.
