About Andrew

A decade in finance. Now in your corner.

Andrew Hyndes spent more than ten years working in finance across the Victorian public sector, building budgets, running reporting cycles and keeping large organisations accountable to their numbers.

He went independent for a simple reason. Too many business owners get handed reports they never read, from an accountant they hear from once a year. Andrew calls his approach business partnering. He sits on your side of the table, keeps your books in order and tells you in plain English what the numbers mean and what to do about them.

If a term needs a glossary, he will not use it.

Services · The climb

Every ascent happens in stages.

The Foundation

Bookkeeping & Accounts Support

Clean, current and reconciled books are the base camp for everything else. Andrew keeps your records accurate and BAS-ready, so you always know where you stand and never scramble at quarter end.

  • Bank and account reconciliations
  • Payroll processing and compliance
  • Accounts payable and receivable
  • BAS-ready record keeping

The Ascent

Business Advisory

Once the foundation is solid, the numbers can start working for you. Regular reporting and forecasting turn your accounts into a map of where the business is heading, with a guide who explains the route.

  • Management reporting you can read
  • Budgeting and cash flow forecasting
  • Virtual CFO support as you scale
  • Quarterly reviews and check-ins

The Summit

Tax Advisory & Referrals

Tax handled properly, all year round, not just at lodgement time. Plan ahead, ask questions whenever they come up, and lodge with confidence.

Tax services are provided by Platinum Accounting Australia, a CPA practice and Registered Tax Agent. See the note in the footer.

  • Tax planning through the year
  • Business and individual returns
  • BAS and GST
  • Year-round tax questions

Who I help

Built for the organisations that keep communities running.

A

NDIS providers

Clean records, clear funding acquittals and books that stand up to an audit, so you can focus on participants instead of paperwork.

B

Not-for-profits

Board-ready reporting, grant tracking and transparent accounts that make treasurers and funders comfortable.

C

Small businesses

Reliable books, honest advice you can act on, and one person who actually picks up the phone.

The difference

Why owners choose a partner over a provider.

01

Plain English, always

You will understand every report you receive. If something is unclear, that is Andrew's problem to fix, not yours.

02

A genuine partner

One contact, all year. Questions in March get the same attention as lodgements in June.

03

Foundations first

Good advice needs good data. The books get sorted before the strategy gets ambitious.

04

Fits your tools

Andrew works with the software you already use. No forced migrations, no surprise subscriptions.
