There are some people who become such a familiar part of the team that it’s hard to remember Cadenze without them — and Jeff is definitely one of those people.

Jeff celebrates 10 years at Cadenze Partners 🎉 In that time he's gone from accountant to senior to manager, built a deep understanding of Australian tax and structures, and become known for bringing fresh ideas to our clients. He even fit a wedding in there somewhere.

One of our favourite moments was having Jeff visit Australia and finally meet some of the clients he's helped for years. He also makes sure to sample as much Aussie coffee ☕ as possible while he is here. Priorities!

Staying across tax changes isn't a nice-to-have. It's the job.

Kelly Reedman and Duncan Barber were at Tax Practitioners Day in Sydney, covering the Budget fallout on CGT and negative gearing, the Bendel decision, UPEs, PSI, FTEs and Div 296.

Thanks to Knowledge Shop, TaxBanter and Accurium for a genuinely useful day, and to Stefanie Johnson at FYI for the catch up. Always good to talk shop with the people building the tools we use.

Our clients don't need to follow any of this. That's the point of having us.

One of our clients lost their CFO.

So for a while, Duncan Barber became it.

They're an IT company operating in 17 countries. At the time they were dealing with the global chip shortage, a war disrupting supply chains, and a restructure of their own internal organisation. And the person who normally holds all of that together had just left.

Duncan went in three days a week. Sat on their management team, helped them choose the right CFO, then onboarded that person once the decision was made.

Externally, we were already part of that team. This was just being part of it day to day, at the point they actually needed it.

That's what we mean when we say your accountant should be a partner.

From 1 July 2027, ASIC starts collecting director IDs alongside company records.

Most directors already have one, so this isn't a new obligation. The thing that catches people out is the join. ASIC holds one set of details, ABRS holds another, and if the names or dates of birth don't line up, that surfaces at your next annual review or the next time a director's details change.

Worth a look now while there's no deadline pressure. Details current, every director listed, names and addresses right.

Our clients don't need to do anything. We're already across it and we'll flag anything that needs sorting.

"It's too hard."

That's the reason we hear most often when someone stays with an accountant who isn't right for them.

And we understand it. Nobody wants to sit down with a stranger, talk through their financial affairs and bare their soul about how well, or how badly, things are going.

People equate it to changing banks. Difficult. Hassles. Forms.

So we built our onboarding to take that off your plate. One process, we walk you through the changes, including the ASIC portals.

Changing is never nice. But it shouldn't be the reason you don't.

Some client relationships start with a referral. This one started with a name.

When this client set out to find a new accountant, they didn't trawl through directories or compare quotes. They asked around. And one name kept surfacing...

Kelly

The two had worked together years earlier, in a different chapter, and the trust built back then had stuck. So when the client needed someone in their corner, the decision almost made itself.

That decision was over seven years ago now.

Since then, the relationship has grown into something far bigger than annual tax work. We now look after the entire group, more than 15 entities spanning their businesses, the individuals behind them, and a self-managed super fund. Quarterly management reports, financials, FBT, the full compliance picture. It's all handled.

But what the client values most isn't on any report.

Every quarter, Kelly is there in person. Not on a call, not over email, but sitting in their office with the owners, the GM, the CFO, the managers, and the broader team.

Whatever questions come up, from the boardroom to the front line, they get answered face to face.

That presence is exactly why they trust us with the big moments too.

When they expanded their business offering, we helped structure it the right way. And when their long-serving internal accountant was ready to retire, we guided the transition and assisted the right successor was trained right, so the business never missed a beat.

Seven years on, we're not just the people who do their numbers. We're part of how the business runs.

And that only happens when you show up, year after year, and earn it.

This year's conference theme: Easy to Extraordinary in 2027.

People. Efficiency. Innovation. Growth.

Four pillars. The easy part was writing them on a wall. Figuring out what we actually do about them took the rest of the day.

Some very strong opinions on our systems. A few ideas nobody saw coming. At least one person who peaked at the coffee break.

Duncan's team won the Toblerone. We're not saying it was rigged. We're just saying he wrote the questions.

The best ideas in this business have never come from the top down.

The client who grew from a bookkeeping job into a global operation, with us beside them the whole way.

When we first started working with this client, the job was simple. Do the bookkeeping for a small business operating across Australia and New Zealand.

Fifteen-plus years later, that same business spans Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

We didn't just watch it happen. We grew with them.

As they expanded, we liaised with overseas accountants, helped structure each new chapter, and stayed close enough to the business that they'd call us before making a move, not after.

Then came the real test.

Their CFO went on maternity leave. For a fast-growing international business, that's not a gap you can simply leave open.

So we stepped in.

Seamless continuity: Duncan took on the role of temporary CFO, managing day-to-day finances, cashflow, and the moving parts of a global operation. Business as usual, no disruption.

Structured for the future: As the client expanded their services, we helped carve out one part of the business as a separate, sale-ready entity. Today, that exact part is being bought out by an international party, because the groundwork was laid years ago.

Always a phone call away: Whatever pops up, they think of us first. That's not luck. It's what happens when your advisor actually understands your business.

The Lesson…

The best advisory relationships aren't built in a single transaction. They're built over years, so that when something big happens, whether it's a leadership gap or an international buyout, you're not scrambling. You're ready.

That's the difference between an accountant who does your books and a partner who knows your business.
