The reason

Why Hyndes Advisory & Accounts exists.

Andrew spent years in senior finance roles across Victorian Government, helping leaders use budgets, forecasts and reporting to make better decisions. He created Hyndes Advisory & Accounts to bring that same discipline to smaller organisations that rarely have access to an experienced internal finance team.

As the father of a daughter with additional needs, Andrew also has a personal connection to the organisations that support people, families and communities. That is why helping for-purpose organisations become financially stronger is an important part of what Hyndes Advisory & Accounts was created to do.

  • Supported major budgets, forecasts, audit processes, financial controls and complex investment decisions.

About Andrew

A career in senior finance. Now in your corner.

He went independent for a simple reason. Too many business owners are handed reports they never read, from an accountant they only hear from once a year. Andrew works differently. He becomes a practical finance partner for your business, keeping your books in order, helping you understand what the numbers are really saying and giving you clear advice on what to do next.

If a term needs explaining, Andrew will explain it clearly.
