Figures Matter

Business Details

Your Trusted Accounting Partner in Canberra

Established over 8 years ago, Figures Matter was founded by Dinesh and Lavisha, who transitioned from high-profile roles in the resources industry to support small businesses. Initially operating as Phoenix Accountants & Advisors in Osborne Park, WA, we specialised in strategic financial advice to enhance profitability and cash flow. Recognising the need for quality bookkeeping to complement our CFO services, we expanded our offerings and acquired Figures Matter in Canberra in 2017.

Today, our team leverages 50+ years of combined finance industry experience and cloud-based Xero software to serve clients across Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, and Western Australia. Our mission remains focused on streamlining financial operations, ensuring compliance, and empowering businesses to achieve sustainable growth through tailored solutions.

His team then made our life and process in this matter so easy, took any call or email I made, to ask those silly questions that sometimes you have and always put our
