I formed Arthur Roe & Associates Pty Ltd on 1 July 2000 in order to offer a boutique professional service offering to a defined client base. The firm does not profess to be “all things to all people” as its objective is to focus on a very defined market place.I have in excess of 33 years’ experience in providing specialist taxation and financial planning advice to a broad range of clients ranging through public companies, medium to larger private companies, superannuation funds, high net worth individuals and smaller professional practices which seek specialist taxation and financial planning advice for our clients.Prior to forming ARA on 1 July 2000, I was the senior taxation consulting partner at the international firm of accountants, PKF, spending in total of 17 years with them, 13 of which were at partnership level. I have a Bachelor of Business in Accounting, a Graduate Diploma in Taxation Law; I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accounts, a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), a fellow of Taxation Institute of Australia and a Certified Financial Planner, and have in excess of 30 years professional practice and advisory experience. I also have over 15 years’ experience as a Financial Planner.
