Accounting Practices

Resourcing and training quality staff continues to be a major headache for accounting firms. Under resourcing takes more senior staff away from value adding activities and turnover requires constant internal retraining. With team augmentation and internal training specific to your technology stack and processes, ensure there's always trained resources available as needed.

Financial Services

Interest rates, inflation, market volatility, geo-political issues, and black swan events – your business has enough to contend with. Get actionable financial data, meet rigorous industry compliance standards, improve cost efficiencies, reduce risk, and access untapped expertise and advanced technology. All without having to increase headcount.

Consulting Groups

If anyone understands the value of outsourcing, it’s consultancies. Allowing your group to offload non-core business functions, provide clients with additional value-add services, meet stringent compliance requirements and deadlines, and scale operations more effectively. At a significantly lower cost than managing accounting and finance functions internally.

Case Study

Shift is a non-bank business lender. Offering a range of credit and payment products to provide financial certainty, so businesses can operate and grow.


Prior to Aretex coming on board, we were using a bookkeeper based out of New Zealand. The quality of work provided was inconsistent. It was incomplete, inaccurate and always delayed. If your bookkeeper or accountant doesn’t know your business inside out, that will be reflected in the accounts. And ours didn’t understand our business.


The problem with subpar bookkeeping is that we require data to produce the management accounts. The constant delays and inaccuracies caused bottlenecks and led to costly rework and poor reporting. There was also a tax agent that was GST and BAS compliance driven, whose data and reporting also didn’t align with the bookkeepers.


We sought external CFO advisory, who then appointed Aretex to handle all operational accounting and bookkeeping. Aretex offered a one-stop shop solution – bookkeeping, tax agent, payroll, accounts receivable and payable, reporting, the whole lot..

Shift are a non-bank lender that rely on the Aretex hybrid accounting model.

What we love about Aretex is their reliability. The work is completed on time, accurately and to the highest quality standards. With a single point of contact and access to an entire team’s capability and expertise, we don’t have to worry about who’s sick or hasn’t turned up for work today – the accounting is done. The alternative of building an in-house team in Sydney would impose significantly higher costs without any greater return on investment.


They’re also extremely adaptable. We’ve not used Xero in our business for some time now, instead opting for Technology One. Aretex went the extra mile of training their staff to be working exclusively for Shift on the Technology One platform. I’ve not found another provider that was prepared to do this for us.

23 Nov, 2023
The subsequent payroll tax rulings released in August by the NSW and VIC state revenue authorities haven't just stirred the waters, but have, in many ways, sent waves crashing onto the shores of many medical practices.
