PROTECT. GROW. ADVANCE. ASHFORDS.

Ashfords isn’t just a firm.

Ashfords is a partnership first advisory that has grown over generations.

For more than five decades, we’ve been working alongside businesses, families, and everyday people, at every stage of their journeys.

About Ashfords

With decades of expertise, Ashfords leads in our modern, future-focused world.

While Ashfords was shaped by a 2015 merger, our roots go back to 1968. From the beginning, our focus has been on building strong partnerships and delivering advice that stands the test of time.

Now recognised as one of Australia’s leading financial advisory and assurance firms, we continue to work with individuals and SMEs across the country and internationally, always with the hands-on commitment that has defined us for decades.

Our Team

Ashfords is led by people who show up—for our clients, each other and the work that carries forward over time.

The leadership team brings together deep technical experience, commercial judgement and a shared commitment to disciplined decision-making.

Leadership at Ashfords is shaped by accountability rather than hierarchy. Each person remains closely connected to our clients, team development and the practical realities of managing the firm.

At Ashfords, investment in people is treated as a core responsibility of leadership.

Ongoing training, professional development and education pathways are prioritised to build capability internally and retain knowledge within the firm. This approach ensures consistent standards, strengthens judgement across teams and creates stability as needs, roles and responsibilities evolve.

Our Clients

We build long-term relationships with clients who value consistency and care beyond today's decisions.

Our clients span local, national and international organisations, ranging from small to medium-sized enterprises across a broad mix of industries. These include building and construction, health and medical, wholesaling, importing and manufacturing, professional services, food and beverage, leisure, property and investment, logistics, not-for-profits, schools and sporting organisations.

What connects them is a shared need for disciplined financial structure, long-term planning and advice that adapts as their organisations (and lives) evolve. Each client relationship is shaped around context, complexity and commercial reality rather than templates or generic solutions.

Long-standing partnerships reflect the way work is approached. Advice is developed with continuity in mind, decisions are grounded in long-term outcomes, and trust is built through consistency, discretion and accountability over time.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

"We have been dealing with Ashfords for more than 20 years. They have outstanding accounting and tax knowledge and are extremely professional in the way they go about their business. They are the kind of company you keep. We have no hesitation in recommending them to other professionals. They are also very pleasant and positive people to deal with."

ASSOCIATIONS & Memberships

Community

Ashfords put the call-out to our Partners, clients and suppliers, who all pitched in for items auctioned at a special online event, a first for the Starlight Foundation, raising more than $7k.

Investing time and passion into our local community is a core part of Ashfords

The work Ashfords does extends beyond offices, balance sheets and advisory meetings. It is shaped by the people who work here, the families who live in the region, and the communities that form the backdrop to everyday life.

Community involvement reflects shared values rather than formal obligation.

Team members contribute time, resources and energy to causes they believe in, and support is directed toward initiatives that matter. Local sponsorships and direct contributions to organisations, such as the Starlight Childrens' Foundation, and our long-term support of the NBL team South East Melbourne Phoenix.

Initiatives

"I just want to say thank you so much for the laptop, I appreciate it so much and it really helps me with all my schoolwork. I don't have to stress about not having a laptop to do schoolwork with anymore."

Practical support is directed toward initiatives that have a tangible impact

Ashfords recently contributed equipment and resources to programs that improve access to education, including the donation of laptops and office equipment to the 'This Is IT Schools Initiative.'

By repurposing technology for students experiencing financial hardship, this work helps address a tangible gap in learning access within the region.

The focus remains on measurable impact, with resources allocated where they can make an immediate and lasting difference to students, families and schools facing genuine disadvantage.

Careers

From graduates to professionals looking for a meaningful role, our transparent approach on recruitment matters.

Career development is built into how people are supported from the start.

Team members are supported through education pathways, varied graduate opportunities and access to senior leadership, with flexibility built into how people work and progress. Investment extends beyond technical training to include mental health support, global mobility opportunities and structures that allow careers to evolve alongside life.

These commitments are applied in practice through continuous learning, internal promotion, open access to leadership and a workplace culture that values wellbeing, growth and sustained contribution.
