Gardiner Hall & Co

Certified practising accountants, based in Broken Hill, New South Wales, Gardiner Hall & Co advises businesses and individuals on accounts, tax, audit and finance. The three directors hold professional memberships with CPA Australia, the Tax Institute and a company directors' body.

Accounts and tax prepared for every party

The firm prepares full accounts designed to meet the requirements of the client, its bank and any other party with an interest in the figures. Tax work sits alongside that accounts work, so a client's reporting obligations and its financial statements are handled together. Tax and accounting work sits at the core of the practice, and the accounts are built so that lenders and advisers can rely on them.

Specialist services for owners and lenders

Beyond compliance work, the firm offers a virtual CFO service, business valuations, benchmarking, lending and finance advice, and succession planning. Succession planning helps an owner plan an orderly handover of the business, while benchmarking shows how a business compares with others in its sector.

Cash flow, refinancing and negotiation advice

The business advisory side analyses cash flow over time, weighs refinancing choices, manages risk and helps clients through negotiations. Cash flow projections show whether a business can meet its commitments in coming months, and refinancing options can change the cost and structure of existing debt.

Audits focused on the critical risks

Its website groups the work under tax and accounting, specialty services, business advisory and audit services. Audits are carried out to the highest standard of assurance and focus on the areas of greatest risk in each engagement, so that the work concentrates where errors would matter most.

Clients in primary industries and trades

From its Broken Hill office, the firm serves businesses as well as individuals, including primary producers and agribusinesses, construction and building firms, retailers, mining services companies, advertising businesses and medical practices.
