Bill, just a quick thank you for all the help that you have provided to our businesses and our family over the past 3 years.  The businesses certainly needed a fresh set of eyes, and someone that was strategic enough to help redirect the team on the path for growth. Being able to effectively advise on remuneration and equity issues also meant that we had someone who knew our business that could provide a complete solution. And, finally, thank you for helping our family deal with all the complications with our taxes and investments, and for making it as easy as possible for us.
- Pierre Langenhoven, Director, CTM Flooring & Italtile (Australia)
When we met Bill our business was in the early stages of its evolution. Bill made sure that the group was properly structured in preparation for our rapid growth in Australia and globally and that myself and my fellow shareholder were also properly structured to achieve our long term financial goals. Bill has been our business and personal accountant and tax advisor for the past 8 years. During this time he played the role of “CFO” until we were ready to appoint a full time person, in which he assisted. He has been on our Advisory Board and has continued to provide ongoing tax advice and accounting support in relation to our global operations. He has also provided personal taxation advice to me and my fellow shareholder and looked after our family’s taxation and financial affairs. Bill and his team continue to be responsive and pro-active in all that they do. They have provided invaluable support during these exciting times. I strongly recommend Bill, and Whitehawk Advisors, as strategic tax advisors and accountants.
- Charles Green, Group CEO, RFi Group
As a typically busy executive, I need someone who will listen to what I need, work with me to help me achieve my financial goals, and provide me with certainty in relation to my taxation affairs. Bill Shew, and Whitehawk Advisors, delivers the support that I need. Bill’s advice is strategic and commercial and he and his team provide quick turnaround on all of our compliance matters. I don’t like surprises when it comes to tax so Bill makes sure that we meet regularly so that I am kept informed and up to date. He is always on the front foot in this regard. I have already referred a number of colleagues to Bill and will continue to do so. I recommend Bill, and Whitehawk Advisors, to anyone who is looking for someone to provide proactive support in managing their taxation and financial affairs. My wife and I have developed a very trusting relationship with Bill – we know we’re in good hands.
- Peter Harmer, Managing Director & CEO, IAG Limited
Bill Shew was originally introduced to me and my fellow shareholders in 2006 to address some complex issues dealing with a large business sale transaction on one of the companies we owned at the time which also involved an exit strategy for some of the same shareholders in our main business. Bill's approach to the matter and the manner in which he dealt with the stakeholders impressed me as he was able to grasp the issues and provide a solution that met everyone's needs to provide a positive outcome for all concerned. I have now been a personal chant of Bill and his team for over ten years. During that time he has assisted me in restructuring my financial affairs, provided complex advice on superannuation and taxation matters, and made sure that my compliance obligations are always up to date. Bill also continues to be the chosen advisor to me and my business partners on complex commercial and taxation issues on an ongoing basis. I have no hesitation in referring my colleagues and our clients to Bill. I know that they are getting the best advice and are in safe hands.
- Gerry Frittmann, Managing Director, TCF Services
I have worked with Bill Shew for more than ten years. Bill has been an integral member of the owner managed business advisors network since its inception. If you or your colleagues need a good accountant, tax or strategic advisor who deeply understands the commercial imperatives with small and medium sized businesses and the aspirations of business owners, then I highly commend Whitehawk Advisors to you.
- Geoff Stein, Partner, Brown Wright Stein Lawyers
Whitehawk Advisors have been invaluable to us in making sure that our tax and financial affairs are in order and that we are properly structured to take full advantage of our wealth accumulation strategies. We were introduced to Bill 3 years ago and the first few meetings were hard. We learnt that our practice and investment structures were less than effective and that previous tax advice received was incorrect – but at least he gave us solutions! Bill and his team then set about ensuring that our tax and financial affairs were in order that that we were maximizing the opportunities that we could. We meet with Bill regularly to make sure that we stay on track to achieving our goals. Bill provides smart tax advice that works, and follows through with ensuring that it is implemented. I strongly recommend Bill, and Whitehawk Advisors, as tax advisors and accountants.
- A/Prof. Michael J. Neil FRACS, Orthopaedic Surgeon
My first experience with Bill was when he was brought in on a complex shareholding and equity restructure of a large privately held company. Bill provided the tax advice that addressed the need of the owners and allowed my team to restructure the corporate group in preparation for equity investment and growth. Bill’s commercial experience was invaluable in contributing to the round table discussions with the businesses owners, corporate advisors and lawyers on matters of equity, remuneration, and third party dispute. I was so impressed with Bill and Whitehawk Advisors that I have appointed them as my personal strategic tax advisors and accountants. I strongly recommend Bill and Whitehawk Advisors to anyone in need of strategic business and tax advice. His counsel is always well rounded and easy to understand.
- Martin Ward, Chief Executive, Grandmarke Pty Limited
We have been dealing with Whitehawk Advisors now for over 5 years. Bill has worked with us over that period to build our business and make it even more profitable. Under his and Whitehawk Advisors guidance we have restructured the businesses and its internal operations to help us achieve that growth. From the beginning he worked with us to understand our goals and is now a critical part of the implementation. So much so that he now sits on our Board in an advisory capacity. During the last few years, Bill has designed a wealth creation and extraction plan which has now placed us in a very good position for later in life. More recently, Bill helped us with Estate Planning to ensure that the assets for which we have worked hard to build, and the business, will look after our families if anything were to happen to us. I can personally vouch for Bill, and would have no hesitation at all in recommending him to anyone that I know. Bill has always been very professional both in his approach to me and his dealing with my family, and our key business partners. This is for both the business and myself and my business partner, where at no point have we never felt that this information was at risk being supplied to Bill. Bill is a great business advisor and a very clever man who has many good ideas. Our business has grown (3) fold over the period Whitehawk Advisors has been with us.
- Chris Russell, Director, EMPR Group Holdings Pty Limited
I have referred a number of my clients and several colleagues to Bill Shew at Whitehawk Advisors for tax advice. The advice requested included corporate structuring to maximise equity investment and growth, corporate tax matters, employee share option schemes and personal tax issues. Without exception all have expressed the view to me that Bill’s deep knowledge and expertise on Australian tax law, and the clear and concise solutions he proposed, were very valuable in resolving important issues for those clients. I have no hesitation in continuing to refer my clients and my colleagues to Whitehawk Advisors for advice.
- Ben Cardillo, Director – Corporate Finance, Origin Securities
Whitehawk Advisors has been instrumental in supporting the growth of our business. During our 4 year association Bill has assisted us in addressing shareholder issues - including formalising shareholder agreements and advising on and implementing a shareholder exit. He has supported the business by providing ongoing strategic financial and taxation advice and project managing other professional service providers in complex transactions. Bill has also supported me an my business partner in helping us manage our own affairs - by helping us appropriately restructure our shareholding and other investments, in providing estate Planning advice, and being a sounding board on business decisions.
