[ Why we wrote this page ]
Most "advisors" on the Gold Coast are still accountants doing tax returns.
Search "business advisory near me" from the Gold Coast and you'll mostly find government portals, big-firm landing pages, and lead-gen marketplaces. Useful for some — not for an owner running a real $1M–$10M business and needing someone in the room.
We built Wakefield Pacific for the founder who has outgrown the once-a-year accountant and doesn't want a McKinsey clone or a business coach with a webinar funnel. Embedded advisory, partner-led, with the compliance work handled in the same team.
[ Right fit ]
If this sounds like you, we should talk.
- →Doing $1M–$10M and feel the structure is now the bottleneck
- →Tired of finding out about tax in October
- →Want the same partner from strategy to lodgement
- →Actually want to be challenged on the numbers
[ Wrong fit ]
If this is you, we're the wrong firm — and we'll say so.
- ×Looking for the cheapest quote
- ×Want a once-a-year tax return only
- ×Pre-revenue or sub-$500K and need a bookkeeper
- ×Expect advice without sharing the numbers
[ How an engagement runs ]
Three phases. One rhythm. No folder full of slides.
We don't sell strategy as a one-off. The rhythm is the product, and it's the bit most firms leave out.
01
Read the business
Two structured working sessions. We pull apart the financials, the structure, the capacity and the leaks. You walk out with a baseline scorecard, not a brochure.
02
Set the direction
A 12-month operating plan tied to the actual numbers — pricing, margin, owner remuneration, tax position, capital decisions. Defensible, not aspirational.
03
Install the cadence
Monthly reporting and quarterly reviews where decisions get made on the page, not deferred. The rhythm is the product.
[ Client · Google review ]
"A+++++ HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My business wouldn't be where it is today without the team at Wakefield — engaging, efficient, and they've really guided me on my business and growth. I've recommended a number of others to these guys and they've all been stoked with the service."
— Christopher Nielsen · Business owner
[ Where we work ]
In the room from Coomera to Coolangatta.
HQ at 1/3 Atlantic Ave, Mermaid Beach. Most quarterly reviews happen in person — at our office, your office or somewhere on the way back from one of them.
[ FAQ ]
Questions we get on the first call.
What does business advisory actually involve at Wakefield Pacific?+
An embedded advisory rhythm: a real diagnostic of the business, a 12-month direction tied to your numbers, a monthly reporting cadence, and quarterly reviews where decisions actually get made. Not a one-off plan in a folder.
Who is this for?+
Gold Coast founders running $1M–$10M businesses who have outgrown a compliance accountant and want a partner who shows up between tax returns. We're deliberately not the cheapest — we're the most embedded.
Where are you based?+
1/3 Atlantic Ave, Mermaid Beach — on the Gold Coast. We work in person with owners across Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Bundall, Burleigh, Robina, Varsity Lakes, Southport, Helensvale and the wider South East Queensland corridor — and remotely with founders nationally.
How is this different from a regular Gold Coast accountant?+
A regular accountant lodges. We advise — pricing, structure, cashflow, capacity, owner remuneration, exit posture — with the compliance work handled in the background by the same team. One firm, one rhythm.
What does it cost?+
Engagements are scoped on the call and quoted as a fixed monthly fee. We filter in advisory and filter out price shoppers — if cheap-and-cheerful is the brief, we are the wrong firm.
