About Us

Business ideas begin with a spark, an opportunity, a passion.

For most people, it’s about more than just solving a problem – they want their spark to thrive and grow. Yet too often they become constrained by time and knowledge.

Greenhawk works with people like this – people like you! We step in to give you time, mind and financial freedom. We take a load off, provide commercial savvy, become part of your team. We not only drive your product or service to the next level, we take your business along with us.

We are your partners in finance. Your partners in business. Your partners in success.

We’re an upbeat bunch of business brains
and we're here for you.

Meet the team and call us for a chat. We’re 10/10 friendly (& love a good dress-up).

PS: It’s dead-easy to change accountants – we can even manage the process for you. Give us a buzz today.
