Not just what they want to hear.

Active Accounting Group is a Newcastle based firm of tax accountants and business advisers who work closely with small business owners across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.

The team is led by David Woods, who has built his practice around one principle: give clients the honest advice that actually moves the needle, even when that conversation is a hard one.

A more active approach to your business

Most accountants file your return and send you a bill. Active Accounting Group works alongside business owners to improve their cashflow, structure their businesses properly, and build the kind of financial clarity that gives them time back.

Our clients receive proactive advice covering tax planning, cashflow management, business structuring, SMSF, sales and succession planning. All of it delivered by people who are actively invested in the outcome.

Dave and the team are experienced enough to make a real difference and personal enough to always know who you are.
