About

We understand how to help you achieve your dreams

Just like you, we own a business, so we understand what it’s like to deal with the day to day operational ups and downs as well as strategic long-term issues of running a business. We know that without the right advice at the right time, things can quickly get out of control.


That’s why we don’t want hundreds of clients. We want to be able to offer you personalised service and be accessible when you need us. You’ll never be “just a number” to us. The team at Quest will get to know you and your business, and understand what you want to achieve – both professionally and personally.

The passion to unlock your potential

Maximising your potential is about doing things you never knew you could do and reaching heights you've only dreamed about.

At Quest, we'll take the time to get to know you, and to understand your goals and dreams. If you are motivated, we have the the experience and knowledge to help you grow your business, increase your free time and achieve your financial goals. We'll support you every step of the way.


When you work with Quest we become an important member of your team:

We –

  • Meet with you regularly 
  • Provide you with regular management reports on the state of your business
  • Present annual financial statements that meet the necessary statutory or taxation requirements
  • Oversee all your income tax return obligations
  • Facilitate contact with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) – you’ve got better things to do with your time
  • Organise the preparing and filing of your BAS returns
  • Assess your likely future tax costs well in advance, so there are no ugly surprises


Working with our clients, not just for them

If all we did was look after your tax, or help you with your superannuation and other investments, then we’re just the

same as hundreds of other accounting firms.


But that’s not the case.


We can do more than just crunch the numbers. Maybe it’s just regular phone catch ups to review your business performance, or a full day to share ideas and workshop what the next step might look like for you, we understand how important it is to dream big, and we can help you feel more in control of your goals.


We have the knowledge, skills and resources to help you with all aspects of increased business growth and improved profitability.  Any question or issue you have, we will be able to take care of that internally, or refer you to someone in our amazing network of skilled professionals.


Delivering on our promise of outstanding customer service, understanding your goals and helping you grow your business is our mantra.
