Formerly Moore Stephens Melbourne

SW was formerly Moore Stephens Melbourne, a firm that has its origins as HF&R in 1935 and has enjoyed an 80-year history of delivering exceptional service for Australian businesses. Over that time, we have built a reputation for our service, quality and commitment to the growth and success of our clients. We are proud to have created many long standing relationships that have often extended into decades and sometimes generations. On 1 February 2015, Moore Stephens Melbourne became ShineWing Australia.

Services

We provide a full range of assurance, business advisory, corporate finance, tax, private clients and wealth management services. Our approach is collaborative, commercial and pragmatic.

From audit, assurance and cyber risk management, right through to tax, corporate advisory and wealth management, we provide all the services any business needs to be certain about its past performance and confident about its future. With access to a unique Asian and international network, we can deliver these services seamlessly in Australia and across the world.

Assurance and Advisory
Whether you are grappling with the risks posed by a global market, starting a new business in a local market or need assurance that your financial information is accurate, our assurance advisors will work with you to review your business operations and financial viability to give you an accurate picture of your performance so you can approach the future with greater certainty.

To confidently approach the future, businesses also need to be aware of the risks they’re facing and implement strategies for the long-term rather than just focusing on the day to day. Our risk management advisors can work with you to identify and mitigate immediate risks, but can also work with you to conduct in-depth reviews of operational and business risks, leading to a clearer picture of where the company needs to focus to reach its strategic objectives.

Business Advisory
It’s no surprise that businesses are turning to professional advisors for more than just technical advice in this increasingly unpredictable market. Business leaders are looking for advisors who can help them devise bespoke business and financial structures to future proof their organisations and achieve sustained growth.

Our business advisory team is firmly focused on helping you to achieve business success and operational excellence. We can assist with strategic advice to enhance business value, and will work closely with you to identify growth pathways that maximise profit and efficiency along with determining the right resource mix to support your growth aspirations.
