We are proud to announce that SMART Business Solutions Group has been awarded WINNER of the Innovator of the Year category at the prestigious Australian Accounting Awards 2025, hosted by Momentum Media.
This national recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to driving positive change in the accounting and financial services industry. At SMART, innovation is not a department - it’s a culture. It’s embedded in the way we think, work, and lead across every part of our multi-service advisory firm.
"I am incredibly grateful to our amazing team, whose creativity, curiosity and collaboration continue to set the pace for what’s possible in our profession. I also extend our thanks to our clients and community, who share in our belief that innovation can be a force for real, positive change."
As a business that spans accounting, tax, financial planning, mortgage broking, business advisory, SMSF services, and CFO support, we know that true innovation isn’t just about adopting the latest tools or technologies. It’s about rethinking how we work, how we develop our people, and how we serve our clients -always with a human-centered lens.
Throughout 2024, we deepened our innovation focus with an “AI-First” mindset that prioritises automation not for its own sake, but for its power to unlock time, creativity, and strategic thinking across our team.
We asked ourselves:
The answer was clear: invest in automation that unlocks capacity without compromising quality. In late 2023, we began building our own internal bots. By early 2024, we had eliminated the need for external developers entirely, empowering our team through in-house AI and RPA training. The result? A more agile, resilient business where our people spend less time on admin and more time delivering strategic, personalised advice.
This award recognition is a celebration of the long-term vision we’ve stayed true to for more than 18 years - one where a regional firm can challenge the industry status quo by leading with technology, without ever compromising on human connection or service quality.
As we look to the future, SMART Business Solutions remains committed to reimagining what professional services can be - intelligent, intuitive, and always deeply human.
From Accounting to Administration, Financial Advisory to Mortgage Broking and everything in between, Smart Business Solutions Group go beyond accounting to maximise your financial potential.
