Stop Trading Your Best Hours for Financial Admin

Your time is your most valuable asset. Yet, the hours spent wrestling with financial admin (on average, 6 per month) come with a hidden cost.

At a professional rate of $150/hr, that’s a hidden invoice of over $10,000 that you're paying your business every year to do work you aren’t a professional in, and likely don’t enjoy.

Our role is simple: we take that entire problem off your plate for a fixed annual fee. This isn't just about turning lost hours back into revenue; it's about growing your business and giving you time for what matters.

About Us

After a decade in accounting, I saw too many business owners left in the dark. They had the numbers, but not the clarity needed to make smart decisions.

I started Summit to change that. My skill is taking a complex subject and explaining it in a way that provides genuine confidence.

I also believe a simple truth: paying tax is a positive sign. It's tangible proof of your success. Our role is to manage that success for you. By claiming every entitled deduction and planning together all year round, we make your tax obligations completely predictable, so there are no more surprise tax bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions I receive from business owners.

My current accountant just does my tax return. How are you different?

Do you only speak to your accountant when your tax is due? If so, you're missing out on year-round strategic advice. Instead of just looking at historical data, we work with you proactively to plan ahead. We help you make smart decisions about cash flow and business structure now, so there are no shocks at tax time.

Is it hard to switch from my current accountant?

Worried that switching accountants will be a hassle? It’s actually a simple process that we manage for you from start to finish. Once you give us the go-ahead, we contact your previous accountant and handle the entire handover of your files, so you don't have to do a thing.

What's the ROI on your services?

Could you earn more in an hour with a client than doing your own admin? If so, it’s time for a change. We handle the financial tasks, so you can focus on what you do best.

My business is growing quickly. How can you help?

Is your business growing so fast it feels a bit chaotic? Rapid growth is exciting, but it brings complexity. We help you manage that by ensuring your cash flow is strong, your systems can scale, and your structure protects you. We provide the financial clarity needed to navigate your growth with confidence.

What's actually included in your fixed-fee service?

Do you hesitate to call your accountant because you're worried about a surprise bill? I believe in complete transparency. I don't use hourly billing, which often leads to surprise invoices. Instead, I offer fixed-fee packages that are agreed upon upfront. These packages are tailored to your specific needs, whether it's annual tax and compliance, or ongoing monthly advisory. This way, you know exactly what you're paying for, and you can call me anytime without worrying about the clock ticking.

Your time is too valuable to be lost to tasks you don't enjoy.

In this complimentary strategy session, I will personally review your situation and we will map out an actionable plan together. If it feels like a good fit, I'll prepare a straightforward, fixed-fee proposal for you. No pressure, no surprises, just clarity.
