What is Advisory Accounting and How it Can Help You?
24 February 2025

One of our clients also tells us how our advisory services help him and his business.

 

At Diprose Miller, we offer advisory accounting services that go beyond traditional accounting tasks like bookkeeping and tax preparation. Advisory accounting involves providing strategic advice and insights to help businesses grow, improve efficiency, and achieve their financial goals. Our advisory accountants work closely with clients to understand their unique challenges and opportunities, offering tailored solutions in various areas. 


Our advisory accounting services include: 


  • Financial GPS: We help businesses identify their long-term goals and provide a roadmap to achieve them. We offer regular updates and guidance to keep clients on track and ensure they reach their objectives.
  • Business Strategy: We support business growth and profitability by working with clients to identify growth opportunities, develop strategic plans, and implement effective solutions.
  • Smarter Farming: We specialise in helping farming and agricultural clients improve their performance and prepare for the future. Our tailored advice and solutions address the unique challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
  • Cash Flow Management: We assist businesses in managing their cash flow to ensure they have the necessary funds to operate and grow.
  • Performance Improvement: We identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to enhance business performance and profitability.
  • Risk Management: We advise on risk mitigation strategies to protect the business from potential threats. 


By leveraging our expertise and experience, and by using the latest software and technology, we aim to support our clients in achieving their business objectives and navigating the complexities of the financial landscape. At Diprose Miller, we are committed to delivering exceptional advisory accounting services that drive success and growth for our clients. But don’t just take our word for it, see what our client, Pete Norris, Financial Advisor at Keystone Wealth, has to say about our services: 


We have been referring our clients to, and working with, Diprose Miller on our clients’ behalf for the last 3 or 4 years. Ed and his team have been providing fantastic service and just “made it easy”, which is high on my priority list, especially when they also “get it right first time”. 


I switched my business accounting to Diprose Miller when my previous accountant retired a couple of years ago. Switching accountants had been on my to-do list for several years but it always seemed like a low priority/high workload task. In reality, it was the opposite and I should have done it five years earlier! 


Ed has been brilliant to work with. Nothing is too difficult, and he is happy to source external information when required for those more complex situations (and some of mine get complex!). 

The whole team at Diprose Miller work cohesively, are responsive, and are helpful. They make it easy, which is exactly what I want and what I need. 


  • Ed and Diprose Miller handle the end-of-year accounts for many of our investment clients.
  • They manage our accounts and GST for our Investment and Retirement Advice business, Keystone Wealth.
  • They provided the structure and establishment advice, and manage the ongoing accounts, for my investment property company.
  • They are providing advice (GST, currency, Xero, structure etc) and will assist me with establishing the right structure and ongoing accounting as we branch out into invoicing Australian suppliers for our investment education for Advisers programme that we are establishing.
  • They will shortly be providing structure and accounting advice as we commence providing our investment portfolios to other investment advisers. 


They removed a massive barrier that used to exist in my planning stages of business growth. Now I just fire through my thinking and some questions and Ed calls me with what I need to know. It’s perfect!
