  • CPBMAC plays important role in growth and development

    CPBMAC Business Solutions are becoming an important part of the growth and development of our rapidly expanding Industrial Area, Corporate Park, Caboolture.

    Caboolture Commercial Real Estate, together with many other local businesses, is assisted on a daily basis with professional taxation services and updated financials and cash-flows. The convenience of having an Accountancy firm right at your back door, so to speak, provides easy access to sound financial advice, which is important to any successful business operation.

    Garry Poole - Licensee
    Caboolture Real Estate

    Garry & Margaret Poole were the Caboolture based visionaries who turned farming land on the Bruce Highway linking Brisbane with our great north into a thriving industrial precinct said to have 10,000 people working and visiting at any one time - a tremendous achievement that the advisory team at CPBMAC Business Solutions is proud to have been able to contribute to along the way, for more than 12 years. We now help not only here in Caboolture but with a major development near Proserpine in the north and with cane and cattle farms owned by the Pooles.

  • CPBMAC Business Solutions helped us nearly quadruple our turnover in 4 years

    Geraldton Radiology was commended to CPBMAC Business Solutions in the early noughties. When the practice was purchased, turnover was just slightly more than one quarter of that we were enjoying just 4 years later and we have continued to grow the business at around 10% per year since then. CPBMAC Business Solutions has come along on our journey - advising, measuring & assessing, valuing and so forth, much of the time on very short notice. Despite the distance between us, so successful has “partnership” with CPBMAC been for us that a recent valuation indicated that the business is now worth nearly 10 times what was paid for it.

    Ali Parsons - Administration Manager
    Geraldton Radiology

    The so-called tyranny of distance no longer exits in the information age. Advising a business accessible only by a 5 hour flight to Perth, then an hour and a half flight north can be done in milliseconds using 21st century technology - and our programs for “measuring & assessing, valuing and so forth” were developed in-house to help our clients financially manage their businesses to achieve extraordinary profits.

  • CPBMAC Business Solutions – always accommodating, a rare commodity these days!

    Mortgage Ezy has used CPBMAC Business Solutions for many years and were initially referred because of their reputation as tax experts. We have greatly benefitted not only from their tax advice but also from various business advice leading to greater asset protection and profit growth. I would have no hesitation in recommending CPBMAC Business Solutions. Bob Lamont and his team have great overall knowledge in tax and company and trust structures. Bob and his staff are pleasant to deal with and always accommodating, a rare commodity these days.

    Eddie Manci - Financial Controller
    Mortgage Ezy
    Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth.

    Mortgage Ezy is a very successful and prominent finance broker which supplies financial products to other to brokers. By definition, it is a medium sized company as opposed to a small business and has gained kudos in past years as one of Australia’s BRW Top 100 Emerging Companies. The structure of the Mortgage Ezy suite of business entities is very complex and involves a number of trusts, partnerships, superannuation funds and companies, conducting a wide variety of interrelated or distinct businesses. Consequently, accounting for the suite is extremely complex, certainly not something to be taken on by your ordinary garden-variety accounting team. The main objective of the structure apart from the obvious one of legal tax minimization is profit growth in an environment of asset protection & security. Probably the most important of the management mantras of CPBMAC Business Solutions is “MARKETING & PRODUCTIVITY: THE JOINT ROADS TO SUCCESS.” Our belief is that all aspects of successful management, the achievement of all goals and objectives by successful businesses, can be reduced to these two things…..and Mortgage Ezy does them just so well.

  • CPBMAC – what small businesses need, financial advice and health checks

    Travel West is a small outback travel agent, and touring & overnight accommodation operation based in Charleville. When we decided to change to CPBMAC Business Solutions from a Toowoomba firm it saved our business from being in real trouble. We were always paying tax and getting nowhere and when we were told “something just didn’t add up”, our financials were revised and from amended returns, we obtained substantial refunds going back 3 years.

    CPBMAC Business Solutions is more than an accounting practice; it’s what all small businesses need, a total financial advisory and business health check up place.

    We are professional tour and overnight accommodation operators; it’s a job we do very well. We are not and don’t pretend to be financially literate, that’s what Bob Lamont and his talented team do so well.

    Graham & Deb Reid - Travel West
    Charleville

    Travel West is another example of how relatively unimportant distance can be in this modern age as long as people keep the lines of communication open. At CPBMAC Business Solutions we believe successful businesses are so because they concentrate on two things: Marketing and Productivity. Graham & Deb are magnificent marketers and highly productive: despite their comment that they “don’t pretend to be financially literate”, with a little guidance here and there they’ve become financially secure and now we’ve got that great money-eating predator, the ATO, under control.

  • CPBMAC Business Solutions – I simply would not contemplate using the services of another firm.

    I came to use Bob Lamont over 20 years ago, well before CPBMAC Business Solutions was established in 1996. As a former barrister & solicitor in NSW, I was disappointed with the level of knowledge and personal service I was getting from my Nambour accountant at the time and was pointed in Bob’s direction. I not only found his tax knowledge first class – he was involved in a successful Federal Court tax case at the time – but I found his reputation as a business advisor equally well founded. Over the years the friendly, courteous, expert service that was a mark of Bob’s earlier practice transmitted to CPBMAC Business Solutions and I have had continued excellent advice on asset protection, business growth, targeting & attaining good profits and tax minimisation. At one point, a study was conducted by CPBMAC Business Solutions on industry benchmarks Australia-wide; it proved very useful in helping me restructure my business for greater productivity and an immensely improved profit result. I simply would not contemplate using the services of another firm.

    John Pyne - Principal/Partner
    Nambour Realty

    Since writing this testimonial for us, John Pyne and one of his partners have sold Nambour Realty to the third partner and another person. So John is now a part-timer and he and his wife are seeing lots of the world. CPBMAC Business Solutions continues to provide its advice and prepare financial reports, tax returns and “business health” reports for the principals and many of the systems we advised John to put into place to ensure financial security are still being used very successfully today. We also continue to advise John and his former business partner in their semi-retirement.

  • CPBMAC is more than an accountancy firm, its team are lifestyle coaches

    With Bob Lamont’s guidance and help in 2000, I was able to transform a small secretarial business into a profitable bookkeeping business. In 1998, he saw opportunities coming in the imminent introduction of the GST and like a life style coach, encouraged and helped me study for my Diploma in Bookkeeping and Certificate IV in Business Management. I have successfully recommended CPBMAC Business Solutions to clients and the team have provided the right procedures and answers to the situations my clients had found themselves in and my clients are very pleased with their ongoing association with the practice.

    In summary, with Bob’s guidance and recommendations, I have a secure financial future and with his encouragement, I have discovered that with correct time management/best business practices, I am able to play golf every Friday afternoon. I couldn’t be happier.

    Jennifer Taylor - Caloundra Bookkeeping Services

    I’m afraid Jennifer’s case is one of “do as I say, not as I do”. Is it always the way that busy professionals who “coach” people in getting the right balance in their lives, don’t manage to do so themselves? Ask your local G.P. Anyway, good luck to Jennifer on being able to chase a white ball around Pelican Waters every Friday – I can only wish. All that jealousy aside, Jennifer’s situation is a classic example of how determination and the drive to study to improve your self will lead to better business opportunities and financial security. As I have written in one of my publications, “The Secrets to Becoming a $$$ Big Kahuna”: “Every self-made $$$ Big Kahuna I’ve come across in the past 40-odd years will acknowledge that they didn’t stumble across success and wealth, THEY PLANNED THEIR WAY THERE!”

  • CPBMAC has an acknowledged reputation in business circles as the premier taxation experts in the region

    I engaged CPBMAC Business Solutions because of their reputation as business and tax advisers and because I was told I could expect helpful, courteous service. Their reputation is well deserved; they have provided excellent advice on asset protection, financial management, marketing, growing profits and taxation minimisation.

    In summary, I am very happy to recommend CPBMAC Business Solutions as accountants to prospective clients. I have found Bob Lamont and his team to be professionally competent and knowledgeable and able to communicate complex ideas to me in a straight forward manner. I was attracted to CPBMAC Business Solutions because of their acknowledged reputation in business circles as the premier taxation experts in the region.

  • CPBMAC Business Solutions, where they seem always to be thinking of and planning for our business.

    We were attracted to CPBMAC Business Solutions by the testimonials on their website. What followed was a very pleasing initial consultation which outlined what we could expect: direction, support and advice. Expectations that have been met. The things we particularly like about CPBMAC are the time and effort they’ve gone to in providing us with much needed support, their business advice and direction in formulating a workable business plan and the ready availability of the friendly accountants and other staff. They seem to be always thinking of and planning for us. We have recommended them to others and will continue to do so.

    Kathy Brahim - Small Business, Auto
    Caboolture

    Relatively recent clients, Kathy and husband Dean operate a very successful, well-known business in Piper Street, Caboolture, not far from CPBMAC Business Solutions’ offices. The quality of their work is such that they are recommended repairers for a large number of insurance companies. Yet, like all businesses, there were management aspects that could be improved with our help – and improved they indeed were. I am proud to say that the ongoing involvement of my dedicated, problem solving team has helped make a good business even better.

  • A business can only go forward with confidence if you have the backing of a knowledgeable and confident accountant!

    I’m starting with a criticism. After a lifetime spent in marketing, the name CPBMAC does not stick in my brain; perhaps I am just getting a little “grey” in and out! That aside, I became a client in 2004 after being impressed by Bob Lamont’s grasp and my expectations of the firm were met: thankyou! a business can only go forward with real confidence if you have the backing of a knowledgeable and confident accountant! My feedback from the CPBMAC team has always been prompt, precise and understandable and I feel confident that I will be steered in the right direction in the changing and exciting future. Thanks to you all.

    John Barfod
    John Barfod Properties
    Sunland Brokers Pty Ltd
    Nambour, Queensland

    John is a very successful man in real estate on the Sunshine Coast. As he says, he has spent a lifetime in marketing and makes no pretensions to being an accountant - something that is all too common from where I sit. Unfortunately, some people in business delude themselves into thinking they know more about accountancy and tax than an expert accountant and more about law than an expert lawyer. Is it because it is hard to be confident that your professional adviser is actually competent, has a full “grasp” of things, as John calls it?

    Bob Lamont - CPBMAC Director

  • CPBMAC are always available to answer any queries with their expert advice.

    In 2006, we were referred to CPBMAC Business Solutions by a client when we complained that our former accountant took too long to process our financials and we often needed to check the progress. Our expectations of improved service were met: CPBMAC offer a prompt, professional service. They help us solve business problems, they reply to emails and answer phone calls promptly, any financial and taxation advice is explained in terms that can be easily understood and the staff are very helpful and courteous on the telephone and in person. Fees are higher than our previous accountant but the service is better.

    Jeannette Greensill
    Greensill Concrete Company
    Battery Hill, Sunshine Coast

    Jeannette Greensill really hit the nail on the head when she said our fees were higher but our service is better. Some people when seeking a service provider search for the cheapest rate around. In so doing, they are treating a service as a commodity like a cheap, delivered pizza. What service providers, whether they are accountants or lawyers or tradesmen SHOULD DO IS NOT CONCENTRATE ON DELIVERING PRICE BUT ON DELIVERING ADDED VALUE, in other words not being a cheap, scungy pizza supplier with a smidgen of topping drowning in cheap cheese but a “gourmet” pizza guaranteed to have more topping and decent cheese. ADDED VALUE really makes price a non-issue as long as it promises a better result for you! Remember the adage so many of our clients have found rings true: “You pay peanuts, you get monkeys!”
