As a chartered accountant, Lachlan takes a different approach to most accountants in that he not only ensures that his clients pay the least amount of taxation possible but he also assists them to maximise their businesses performance. Lachlan takes the time to learn a clients business and understand what their goals are for the next 5 - 10 years time and once armed with this knowledge he can then set about providing strategic planning assistance to ensure they achieve their overall goals and objectives for themselves and their business.
