What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tradie business owners form the client base most often describing their experience with this Sunshine Coast accounting practice, and the thread running through their feedback is that the service reaches well past standard compliance work. Reviewers repeatedly note that the firm behaves like another member of their own team, supplying proactive guidance and clarity rather than merely lodging tax returns at year end.

Rod and Richard are named again and again, with customers crediting Rod's coaching on business fundamentals and core motivations, and Richard's ongoing advisory support during regular financial reviews. A recurring observation concerns the worth of quarterly meetings for tracking progress, staying accountable and sharpening business strategy, together with gains in internal leadership and management. Clients from the trades remark that structured coaching and detailed accounting reports allowed them to step back from hands-on work and channel attention towards personal development and longer-term direction.

The personal yet professional manner of the team is mentioned often, including encouragement offered to younger members of a family enterprise. Reviewers point to expert advice that goes beyond historical numbers, practical challenges that prompt a rethink of where the business is headed, and steady growth achieved through the partnership, with many calling the decision to engage the firm a turning point for both income and lifestyle balance.

We’ve been with trinity for a long time now and have never looked back, they helped take us from a little 3 man workshop to a team of 15 and growing, the advice is invaluable and the fact that we have a dedicated team to our business means we always have someone to call on when we need a hand, Richard is so easy to deal with and always has an honest answer when we have questions, Rods brute honesty and expertise have helped out immensely and is quite often what we need to hear to take us to the next level.

We are really enjoying and seeing the benefits of coaching with Trinity for our small business. It keeps us focussed and constantly moving forward and challenges us to make changes and reassess our business and where we want to be. Highly recommend!

The Coaching & Accounting team at Trinity Advisory have been nothing short of amazing since the day we met them in Oct 2021! Their genuine passion and determination to ensure small businesses thrive, not just survive, has been a game changer for us, our team and our long term visions and dream. Like many passionate small business owners in trades, we started out enthusiastic and our quality services were in high-demand. However, with our lack of business knowledge & understanding, we could clearly see that this wasn't going to be enough and I guarantee we wouldn't have survived much longer without Trinity. We utilise their accounting, bookkeeping and business coaching services and are confident we will still be kicking goals with these guys as an integral part of our team for many years to come!

Am currently doing business coaching with Rod and the team at Trinity and it has fast tracked my growth years already, would definitely recommend any business owner completing the coaching with them.

The Trinity Advisory team are both different and excellent. My experience has been to receive expert advice beyond looking back at numbers, as well as being supported and challenged to be better at business. This has played out with a refined business strategy, that will continue to be optimised, along with improving our leadership and management internally too. The whole Trinity team live their business values in a way I've never seen before and I could not recommend them more highly.

Rod, Richard and the team have been incredible with their expertise. They do so much more than just accounting and they show genuine care in the success of our business

We are consistently experiencing growth through our partnership with Trinity and confidently recommend their services to any business owner seeking to achieve a healthy income while maintaining a balanced lifestyle. The ongoing advisory support, particularly from our accountant Richard, has proven to be the most beneficial business decision we have made. Rod's coaching on fundamental principles, his guidance in exploring our core motivations, and his assistance in establishing a solid foundation for growth have been invaluable. Furthermore, Richard's reviews of our financials during quarterly meetings have been instrumental in tracking our progress and ensuring accountability to our goals through fact-based accounting. The collective efforts of Rod and the Trinity team have significantly advanced our trajectory, effectively putting us years ahead of where we would have been independently.
