Allan Mason
Chartered Accountant CA, Bachelor of Business (Acct), CA SMSF Specialist
He operates a small elite accounting firm that specialises in helping high wealth (or those that aspire to be high net wealth) clients.
He knows from experience and education what it takes to run a business. It is not always a bed of roses, but takes dedicated effort, working smart and hard work. But it can be profitable and is certainly exciting.
He currently consults to a number of Brisbane firms including the Birchwood Group, to offer select and elite tax and accounting work to a small number of sophisticated clients who need hands on assistance with complicated matters. Having worked for many high-profile business owners, including the late Kerry Packer and others whose name you will know, he is now offering a select and elite service to those that need and want a level of knowledge and expertise that is often not available.
His book “Tax Secrets of the Rich – by Kerry Packers former accountant” has been a best seller four years in a row. He is about to publish the fifth edition of this book. With the benefit of Kerry Packers well known view on tax, he has become a sought-after celebrity in this space and keynote speaker – on how to run a successful business to a tax effective way. Of course, even in Kerry’s day, you must only do things in accordance with the law – hence legally. While he can never make promises he has on many occasions been able to pull a metaphorical rabbit out of the hat to solve massive tax problems.
During his business life he has owned, established or been involved with the following businesses, in addition to owning or running his own accounting practices (hence he knows what it is like to run a business, unlike some):
Finance Company
Commercial Piggery (350 sow)
