Why Davis & Co
Why us? It's all in the '&'.
We're an independent boutique firm of accountants and advisors, offering a fully integrated experience — creating unique opportunities and exceptional outcomes for the clients and the team we value. Our holistic approach balances the technical and the commercial, compliance and creativity, the small detail and the big picture, financial and personal benefits. It's not just what we know, but how we apply our deep expertise and insight to change people's lives for the better.
Most firms stop at the numbers. We start there.
What makes us different
Plenty of firms can file your return. Far fewer become genuine partners in your business. Here's what you get with Davis & Co.
Genuinely integrated service
Compliance and strategy that talk to each other. We connect the day-to-day numbers with the big decisions, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Straight-talking, jargon-free advice
Empathetic counsel and meticulous technical know-how — explained in plain English. We're an extension of your team through every high and low, without judgement.
We give you your time back
We know what matters most. Delivering outstanding service that frees you to focus on your business — and your life — is what drives us.
Two halves of one complete service
Our business splits into two key areas — and the magic happens where they meet.
01 — Compliance
Compliance
Like most accountancy firms, we're registered tax agents and support you across every area of compliance reporting. Our point of difference is who we are and how we work — led by director Phil Abood and a commitment to exceptional service.
- Financial statements
- Income tax returns
- SMSF annual returns & reporting
- BAS / IAS returns
- FBT returns
- Tax planning
- Bookkeeping services
- Company secretarial services
02 — Advisory
Business Advisory
Unlike most accountancy firms, we provide a bespoke advisory service tailored to your individual needs and stage in the business cycle. Being truly both accountants and advisors sets us apart — giving you the advantage of a diverse skillset, from bookkeepers to MBAs and CFOs.
- CFO support
- Month-end accounting & reporting
- Budgeting & forecasting (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet)
- Business sale & acquisition support
- Succession planning
- Business start-up support
- Business loan application support
- Business process improvement
- Structuring
- Strategic planning
Not sure which you need? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.
Book Your ConsultationBuilt for business owners at every stage
Our purpose is to provide a fully integrated service that creates financial freedom and sets you up for success. Known for our small-company values and big-business expertise, we work with organisations of all sizes — from tech start-ups and micro-breweries to fast-growing energy service companies and firms preparing for sale. Industry, sector, age or stage is irrelevant. What we look for is shared outlook and connection.

02
Scaling up
CFO-level insight, forecasting and strategy to grow earnings and outperform your competition.
03
Selling or succession
Optimise your business sale value and navigate the deal with experts who've done it many times.
You'll know who's looking after you
Since acquiring Davis & Co in 2012, Chris and Phil have been the driving force behind the firm's growth — and they're still hands-on with clients today.
Chris Staples
Director
Chris prides himself on his bespoke CFO service, drawing on 30+ years in finance, accounting, taxation and business consulting — corporate and private — to optimise profits and business sale value for our clients. His experience includes senior financial roles with major multinationals in Australia and overseas, making him a high-impact ally, far more than a chartered accountant with a business degree.
Phil Abood
Director
Phil is the highly sought-after taxation specialist every business needs. With 20+ years in finance, accounting and taxation across the corporate and public sectors, he's the eagle eye and incisive mind behind thousands of successful client outcomes. Renowned for his precision and deep taxation knowledge, he's a certified practising accountant with a degree in business.
Social proof
Don't just take our word for it
"It was a challenge to find an accounting and business advisor with all the right skills for our rapidly growing business. As our capital raising process quickly turned into a sale, Davis & Co provided a very high level of support — negotiating the best deal for our shareholders, managing due diligence and allowing me to focus on the business."
Craig Vandenborn
Managing Director, Grizzly Energy Services
Questions, answered
We're based in Milton, Brisbane, but we work with clients across Australia and internationally. Whether you prefer to meet in person or remotely, distance is no barrier to a great working relationship.
Both. Our business splits into Compliance (tax returns, BAS, financial statements, bookkeeping and more) and Business Advisory (CFO support, forecasting, structuring, succession and sale support). Most clients come for one and stay for both.
Not at all. We're known for small-company values and big-business expertise, and we work with organisations of all sizes and stages — from start-ups to established firms preparing for sale.
It's a no-pressure conversation to understand your business, your goals and where you're feeling stuck. We'll tell you honestly how we can help — and if we're the right fit for each other.
A real, named team — not a call centre. Our directors Chris and Phil remain hands-on, and you'll have a dedicated point of contact who knows your business.
