Advisers to Australia’s professional service firms
From boutique practices to larger multi office firms, we help professional service businesses improve financial performance, manage tax and structure, and plan for growth, technology change and succession.
Professional Services Experts
Supporting professional service firms to grow and adapt
Professional service firms succeed on the strength of their people, reputation and client relationships. At the same time, they face increasing pressure from changing regulation, technology, new competitors and evolving client expectations.
At Moore Australia, we work with a wide range of professional practices – including legal, accounting, architecture, engineering, property advisory, IT and recruitment – to help them improve financial performance, manage risk and plan for sustainable growth.
Our advisers have extensive experience working with partner led and owner managed professional firms. We understand utilisation, realisation, lock up, pricing, leverage, partner reward and the dynamics between fee earning and support functions.
Whether you are a boutique practice or a larger multi office firm, we recognise the balance between client service, team culture and profitability.
Professional practices often have specific structuring, tax and funding needs, particularly where partnerships, service entities and corporate structures coexist.
We combine accounting, tax and business advisory expertise to help you manage compliance, refine your financial model, support partner succession and design remuneration frameworks.
Our advice is practical and focused on how decisions will affect partners, principals and key staff.
Many professional firms are investing in technology, reshaping service offerings, exploring new pricing models or considering merger and acquisition options.
We support you with financial modelling, scenario planning, due diligence and integration support.
Whether you are refining your strategy, preparing for a future sale, or planning an orderly partner transition, we help you evaluate options and communicate clearly with stakeholders.

How we help
Helping professional firms balance clients, people and performance
Professional services businesses must deliver high quality advice while maintaining utilisation, managing costs and attracting and retaining talented people. We work with managing partners, directors and leadership teams to interpret financial and operational information – by partner, team, client and service line – so you can see clearly where value is created and where change is needed.
By bringing an independent perspective, we help you test assumptions, review pricing and capacity, and prioritise investments in people, systems and marketing. Our aim is to support you in building a firm that is financially resilient, attractive to current and future partners, and positioned to respond to market change without losing what makes your practice distinctive.
