ACCOUNTANT
Sandeep Singh

As the founder of The Golden Chest, my primary focus is to improve the profitability and business value of my clients. I tailor my advice on how they can grow the value of their business, allowing them to achieve financial independence and secure their financial future. I also take a proactive approach to informing my clients of the relevant trends in their industries as well as any changes in tax regulations and other policy matters that may affect their business in the future. My customer service philosophy is that each client should feel as though they are the only client I have due to the responsiveness and professionalism that I strive for in all that I do.

Services

ACCOUNTING & TAX – ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

As a doctor, dentist or a pharmacy owner, the last thing you need to worry about is the business side of what you do. That’s why The Golden Chest has accountants who specialise in medical practice accounting, dental accounting, as well as accounting services for pharmacy owners. Our tailored tax and incorporation advice you receive are much more than a simple generic, one-size-fits-most approach.

ADVISORY – PHARMACY

A strong and vibrant independent Pharmacy sector is vital for our national economy, local business and family communities. Our proactive advice can help pharmacy owners to retain and motivate staff, solutions to grow their business value and prepare a succession plan that delivers retirement lifestyle benefits without selling.

INDUSTRY BUSINESS VALUE ASSESSMENTS REPORT

Is your profit and business value above or below the industry average and benchmark? We provide you with current information of how comparable businesses in your industry are valued, the industry average, benchmark profit, capitalisation rate, and business value. Our business optimisation program is designed to increase your profits, improve your cash flow and reduce your business risks.

ADVISORY – ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

We specialise in advising GPs, Medical Specialists and other Allied Health professionals in private practice on how to achieve practice success and financial security by transitioning their business from personal to practice goodwill.

BUSINESS STRATEGY – HIGH TECH STARTUPS

The high-tech startup marketplace is a fierce frontier that requires real-time advice from advisors who are deeply entrenched in the particularities of venture financing. We offer a competitive advantage that can help you save money and make more of it in the long run. We steer startups in business, operational, and financial strategies that have clear execution and built in problem-solving contingencies. Our holistic approach is essential to any company looking to grow.

VIRTUAL CFO

A growing business often reaches a point where they need professional financial advice, and require a full-time CFO or controller. Our Virtual CFO services provide you with an experienced professional financial manager who works with you to help guide your business to success. The cost of hiring a full-time CFO can range from $60,000 to over $100,000 per year plus bonuses and benefits. Our Virtual CFO services provide you with experienced support at a small fraction of that cost.

ADVISORY – DENTISTRY

The Dentistry Industry is going through a phase of rapid change, and it is possible it will turn into a doughnut – large corporate practices, very small practices, nothing in the middle. Dentists in private practice are facing increased strategic threats from corporatisation, an oversupply of dentists and preferred provider agreements. Our proactive advice can help dentists maintain and grow their practices by improving efficiency, particularly in staff and productivity and systems.

BUSINESS VALUATIONS

The demand for business valuations is growing rapidly as business owners seek professional advice on how to protect, grow and maximise the value of their business at the time of sale or retirement. We provide business valuations across every industry sector. Not only do we provide current business valuations for business owners, but we can also quantify how you can increase the value of your business.

XERO SETUP

Xero is an online accounting software for small business that connects you with your numbers, your business and us, your advisors. Anytime, anywhere from any device. Starting from $25 per month, Xero has been designed to make it simple to run your business and access the information you need.
