Background

Rare ID are a specialist property marketing agency based in Sydney. Initially Rare ID worked with an accounting firm that could no longer successfully handle the complexities of their growing business.

Peter Howie, Rare ID Managing Director, initially sought help from Greg Will in an advisory capacity after hearing him speak at an event on making the most of economic opportunities bought on by the GFC.

How we helped

Rare ID engaged Armstrong Dawson to assist with their overall business and accounting needs.

  • Company structure review
  • General accounting
  • Monthly reporting

Results

Since engaging Greg the firm has doubled our turnover in the past 6 years. Following the initial business review that Greg did they provided specific recommendations that have resulted in the growth of the business.

The books are a lot tighter and the personal exposure is reduced through structuring advice.

What the client says

“Before we started working with Greg, we were working with a suburban accountancy firm that was only dealing with SME’s and they had a very small business mentality.

When we first started working with Greg we were his smallest client. He had a medium to large business mentality. He was much more sophisticated and looked at everything with a different set of eyes, He was professional and was an open book. Our previous accountant was always one page ahead of us and if we asked for information it was difficult.

With Greg everything was documented, he’d give us a full professional report, everything was in there, easy to understand and approached professionally.

He has bought a real level of proactivity. Assisting us with forecasting and helping us understand when there will be tax implications. He is always looking at where the business is at and giving us advice on the run, rather than waiting until the end of the year, and that’s really important to us as a business. I would definitely recommend them.”
