"It was apparent after a short meeting that we were in a mess"

In 2017 I noticed discrepancies in our accounts that had been set up by a company that at the time I believed to be an accounting firm. After talking to the bank they suggested I speak with Stewart, It was apparent after a short meeting that we were in a mess. Stewart has helped us with our accounting, also giving great advice and guidance with our business, he has been a solid sounding board. We have had some tricky times over the last few years especially when one of the shareholders was exiting the company, but Stewart has guided us and made it a lot simpler, ensuring that things were done correctly and saved us money with his wisdom and ethics.

"Practical, straight up advice and the patience of a Saint!"

I have worked with Stewart for many years and he is the safety bar on this roller coaster ride of starting, running, and growing a business. He’s the one that will get you to open your eyes for the scariest twists and turns and remind you to enjoy the ride. My business would not be where it is today without him. Practical, straight-up advice and the patience of a Saint!

"I entered the business world knowing a lot about design, and very little about business."

Stewart from Competitive Advantage has been right beside me since the inception of my company. I would not be where I am today without him and his expertise. I entered the business world knowing a lot about design, and very little about business. Stewart guided and mentored me through the tough early years and stayed with me to celebrate as my brand grew into what it is today. From decision making, to finance, to navigating hard situations, Stewart is and will always be the voice of reason that keeps me and my team on track. His accounting firm, Good For Business has also managed our accounts since we launched, they are professional and always on-point. I couldn't recommend a better person to partner with if you're serious about building something that stands the test of time.
