More than accountants.

We’re here to make a real difference.

With more than 17 years in operation looking after the finances of Mornington Peninsula’s business owners and individuals, we work with you to identify areas in your finances and personal structures that aren’t realising their full potential and help you to improve them to ensure we’re caring for all corners of your entire financial life.

We go the extra mile, ensuring we are proactive rather than reactive. We know that the better informed our clients are, the more connected and empowered you will feel with your money. Because of this, we place a strong emphasis on client education. We believe this is the pivotal difference when it comes to our advice and teaming with us as your trusted advisers. 

Shannon Smit, CEO and Founding Director at Smart Business Solutions, says this educational approach is a key differentiator for the business.

“Providing our clients with knowledge is important. It’s our job to assess their circumstances and make recommendations, but at the end of the day they’re the ones who need to make decisions. It’s our responsibility to instil that confidence in them. It’s easy for them to simply say ‘I trust you’, but the smarter we can make our clients, the more empowered they become. Our smartest, most informed clients are the ones whose businesses and financial portfolios are performing best.”

Our core values

Our core values represent our highest priorities and beliefs, and are the fundamental driving force for everything we do at Smart Business Solutions.

We want our people to be the best they can be. We facilitate this by providing weekly continual technical training to ensure professional development, but also non-technical mindset coaching and team building activities. 

People are our greatest assets

As a firm we nurture and respect the health and wellbeing of our staff. As Richard Branson famously quoted, "Take care of your employees and they'll take care of your business." At Smart Business Solutions we wholeheartedly agree and abide by that sentiment.

Our team and culture

We are proud to offer a workplace that is diverse, inclusive with flexible working arrangements ensuring a progressive approach to work / life balance. 

We want our people to be the best they can be, by providing weekly continual technical training to ensure professional development, and non-technical mindset coaching and team building activities.  

Each team member is offered a gift of a paid day-off for their birthday and receives a birthday celebration cake of their choice, bringing the team together on a personal level. Regular lunchtime trivia is a fun and interactive way to get everyone collaborating. During Covid and remote working it was imperative to maintain team connection.

SMART Business Solutions continues to develop team activities and initiatives that make it a sought after workplace. In 2022 our annual end of year team building activity was a custom-designed The Amazing Race challenge!
