You're working harder than ever, the work's there, and you still don't know where you stand. The Robards Advisory Business Control Program puts you back in charge of your numbers, your prices and your future.
You're not bad at business. You're running it blind.
Take back control. Step by step.
Take back control.
We get your books up to date, sort out the ATO, show you where your money goes, fix your pricing and get you paying yourself properly.
Grow with control.
Once you're in control, we build a business that grows without burning you out.
Control your future.
A business that funds the life you want, on your terms.
I've been in practice since 2004, and I've had my own hard times: standing in front of staff not knowing if there'd be work on Monday. I know what it feels like to carry everyone on your back. That's why I don't just do your tax and disappear. I work with owners who are ready to change, and I stay with them until they're back in control.

A business that runs while you're away
When I started my accounting firm, I made a big mistake. I thought I had to be the cheapest accountant in town.
And it worked, sort of. I had the lowest prices around, and everyone came to me. I shook up the whole industry in our small town.
But here's what it really looked like: long hours, stacks of clients, and hardly any profit. I was busy, but I wasn't getting ahead. And I'm an accountant. I should have known better.
That's when it clicked. I'd been selling on price, not on value. Cheap doesn't help anyone get ahead, not me and not my clients. What helps is advice that actually changes how your business runs and what it puts in your pocket.
That lesson is the reason I work the way I do today.
— Pat Robards
A tradie came to us really worried. He had a big ATO debt, and his accountant and his solicitor had both told him the same thing: his only option was to go bankrupt.
At the time, he had one employee.
Six months after we started working together, he had six employees and was well on his way to sorting out the ATO debt. Twelve months after that, the debt was cleared, and he was running a very profitable business.
So what was the difference? His old accountant and solicitor looked at where he was. We looked at where his business could go. They saw his position. We saw his potential.
This client had a great business and a great lifestyle. But he'd been ignoring the ATO, and the debt kept quietly building.
Then the ATO started chasing him.
He had no idea where his books were at or how to get out of the mess. So he came to us. We worked with the ATO on his behalf, got his bookkeeping sorted, and helped him get his finances under control.
In a short time, he was back on track and could get on with running his business, without the ATO hanging over his head.
This program is for trade and service owners who are still trading, ready to own the problem, and willing to do the work. If you're looking for someone to make it all go away, we're not the right fit. If you're ready to take back control, let's talk.
Find out where your business really stands. It takes about five minutes.
