The focus of the firm has been on meeting the compliance and audit requirement needs of its loyal clientele, with the likes of financial planning or advice type services yet to be introduced. Second generation clientele and referrals are driving organic growth.

Suitable transition terms will be negotiated. Lease terms are negotiable or the fee base can be relocated within the local upper North Shore area. However, given the number of clients that visit the firm, relocation too far from its current location is not advisable.
