Small business community gathers for office reopening

Bruce Billson, Small Business Ombudsman, officially opens Smart Business Solutions’ renovated office

Shannon Smit and the Smart Business Solutions team know how to bring the local business community together. Last month, Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson was invited to officially reopen Smart Business Solutions’ recently extended and renovated family office in Main St, Mornington. It was an afternoon filled with high energy and flowing conversation, with many of the most well-known business owners of the Mornington Peninsula networking and discussing issues facing small businesses. Mr Billson was receptive to the needs and feedback of the small businesses on the Peninsula.

From what started as a small accounting service in the spare room at home, founding director Shannon Smit had a vision to bring a city-style business accounting and financial advisory firm to the Mornington Peninsula. For six years, Shannon has been on the Australian Government Board of Taxation Advisory Panel. Her position has been renewed for the past four years. Coupled with her business acumen and passion for small business, Shannon and the Smart team are the small business tax and advisory experts.

This year, Smart Business Solutions celebrates 15 years in business offering strategic business accounting, financial advisory, superannuation and SMSF advice, vCFO and mortgage broking. Their team of award-winning and dedicated professionals work collaboratively to achieve the best client outcomes to ensure their clients are in a position to make choices; choices as to how they spend their time in the business, with family, and when and how they want to retire. After all, there is no greater success than a life with choice.
