“You have a sense of confidence with Mage. You want somebody to go to bat for you and give 100%. I got Michael to put a second pair of eyes over my EOFY financials – he picked up something we all missed and ended up saving me $100K.”

How we help

Business Sale / Merger / Acquisition / Succession

Thinking of selling, bringing in new partners or undertaking an M&A transaction?

Preparation and execution is everything. Our specialists have decades of experience to assist you through this process. This includes review of your business financials, operations and people; managing or assisting with all aspects of due diligence; and managing the deal through to settlement.

Business Restructuring

Asset protection, new equity partners, tax effectiveness, regulatory changes, whatever the changes are, we can assist you to restructure your business in a way that optimises your situation.

Complex Tax Advice

In the course of doing business, you’ll come across many complex tax situations where you and your day-to-day advisers will require assistance. We are specialist independent advisers who can assist in any area of tax including advising on the application of tax concessions, corporate taxes and restructures and rollovers.

We take a practical approach and will present our advice in clear terms in the most effective format, everything from a short verbal conversation through to formal written advice.

Shareholder & Partnership Exits

In a dispute? Need to exit, or exit your business partner? These are sensitive matters requiring strategy and experience. We have successfully navigated many business disputes and exits to their successful conclusion settling a clean exit.

CFO Services

Imagine having a seasoned finance professional in your business without hiring a full time executive. You might need assistance to streamline your finance operations, set up better reporting, or provide ongoing financial insights and guidance.

What our clients say about us

“A major difference between Mage and other advisory firms is that they stand by their advice and put it in writing. Others will tell you to do something, but they avoid putting it in writing as they don’t want to be held accountable. The Mage team held us to account to achieve a very high standard.”

Danielle Walz,
CEO, Training Ahead Australia

“Where Michael becomes quite unique in this market is that he’s been in and out of numerous partnerships himself. He’s actually sat across the table from fellow partners in the good times, and the not so good times. He’s seen these schemes unravel. He’s across both the legal and the practical elements. That rounded advice is very difficult to get. And whilst I’m sure it’s not unique, it’s rare in this market. Michael would have been easily the best that I dealt with.”

Rob Davidson,
Davidson Recruitment

“Mage is so good; the buyer of our business kept them on to do their books.”
