“We are so stoked to have found Balanced. They took the time to listen to us, answer the questions we were asking about our business and make our finances work for us. Before, we were basically trying to gauge our performance based on our bank balance, but with bookings coming in for up to six months in advance, it was almost impossible to understand our current position. After overhauling how we treat each transaction we are now able to understand how we are performing at any point in time and forecast this into the future. This knowledge has given us the ability to confidently make decisions and know how they will play out instead of guessing.”

“Our relationship with Balanced is one that adds consistent value and engenders deep trust. Darrin has a real gift for seeing the big picture as well as the fine detail and has influenced the course of our business in significant ways. He understands the specific challenges of developing new software and when we need to make rapid changes in order to adapt he moves with us and is often the one illuminating the path forward. I can’t recommend Balanced highly enough… they are literally our dream outsourced finance team and we couldn’t do what we’re doing without them.”

“Balanced were outstanding to work with. They acted as a true business partner, providing the management and board confidence in the business’ performance and considerably enhancing controls to decrease potential risks. As a technology driven organisation, KPEX needed a partner that could understand and react to the dynamics of a fast-changing industry. I would recommend Balanced to anyone looking for a highly engaged, proactive and commercially-minded finance partner.”

“The Balanced team has been fantastic! We have had a solid relationship for five years now and they are an invaluable part of our external resource. Our bookkeeping, reporting and end of month processes have been totally streamlined. Their financial expertise and ability to see the big picture has helped shape our direction. We regularly use them to bounce off ideas and refine our decisions.”

“I've been working with the team from Balanced for a few months now. I had only been in touch with my previous accountant when I needed to get a yearly tax return done. I didn't really know if my hourly rate was paying me any $$$ - I reached a point where I was wanting to go back to a corporate job as the salary I paid myself was way too low for the qualifications I have. Since working with Balanced, I understand my price point and I feel more confident of setting up hourly rates and packages. The team reply really quickly to any inquiries or questions I have. I can absolutely recommend Balanced as an accountant as they don't "just" do your tax. Balanced really gets your business thriving.”

“The Balanced team helped me with the initial transaction of purchasing my business and set up the accountancy functions required to run the business. From there they have also shown what a professional service they continue to provide. I highly recommend them for a wide range of accountancy services.”

“Great that Balanced have a genuine interest in our business and strategy. Our meetings are focussed on how we can improve our business strategy, how our accounts and strategy are aligned and how our accounts tell us our strategy is on track. Fully recommend Balanced.”

“We undertook a Business Planning session with Darrin to help us understand what we needed to do to reach our business goals. We were in a state of change – bringing on an additional service – and Darrin came highly recommended. Thanks to our planning session I now have a better overall understanding of my business. I know how many leads I need to acquire to reach my targets and how this feeds through to my bottom line. The great thing about working with Darrin is that it’s not just about accounting, it’s a business education process.”

“Before engaging Balanced's services we were struggling to determine the financial direction of our business. Thanks to our sessions with Darrin, we now have not only a solid understanding of our gross margin percentage, but considerably more direction in the overall running of our business. Darrin is experienced, friendly and knowledgeable – I’d recommend his expertise to anyone in the early stages of business like myself.”
