Frequently asked questions

I already have an accountant.

Every accountant can help with tax. But not every accountant has the depth of knowledge and experience that it takes to help you grow a thriving business. We believe that the right business advice goes beyond tax effective structures. We take time to listen to what you’d like to achieve in your business and help you make plans to get you there.

Can you do my tax?

Yes. We can handle your tax and compliance obligations, but where we can add value is by helping you look forward. Getting to know your business means we can plan ahead, not just work on your compliance tasks.

I already run a successful business.

Being a successful business owner means you know your business inside and out. You know what it takes to make it successful. But when do you take time to plan life outside your business? When you work with Saward Dawson, you’re working with a team that help you envisage life beyond your business – not just in it.

Isn’t business advice is too expensive?

So many business owners believe that business advice is too costly. Our clients have found that the opposite is true. Spending time to understand your business and optimizing it for future growth pays off significantly in the long term.
