Overview
O’Connells OBM provides a kaleidoscope of proactive business advisory services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the areas of accounting, taxation, business advising and consulting.
If it is in our clients’ best interest, we draw on the experience of specialists, to provide the best value for money and the most expert result.
The following diagrammatically represents our service approach:

As you can see, our focus is not just on the preparation of accurate financial reports, as to us, they generally add little value for clients, being prepared predominantly for compliance reasons.
What we’re about is adding value to the compliance process by seeking to identify opportunities and issues through what we see, thinking forward in all aspects of what is means to be in business and toward seeking financial independence, so that we can discuss those opportunities or issues with our clients.
Some of the benefits that flow from our OBM system to our clients are:
- Better service from people who are developed with a high level of skill and care for clients.
- Continuity of personnel as a by-product of a higher retention rate from the OBM process.
- Working with a team of accountants who all have experience in running a business and therefore are more equipped to help your business.
- Ensuring that your needs are met as each team member has a "stake in the outcome”.
Our services are defined as:
Accessible – we strongly believe in open communication
Innovating – on-going creativity is the key to long term viability and to realising sustainable success
Initiating – we believe in identifying problems, nominating solutions and making a difference for clients
Long-term – we hold a long term view, and are committed to growing with and adapting to clients’ needs
Valuable – we are dedicated to maximising efficiency to provide cost-effective services
Accordingly, we undertake to:
- Accept phone calls, if practical, as they come in. If this is not possible, we undertake to have someone from our office respond to the call within the same day.
- Continually look for opportunities for clients
- Review clients’ needs on an on-going basis
- Identify any material weaknesses in the accounting or internal control system, and suggest practical solutions.
- Provide assistance and advice in record-keeping, allowing clients to minimise costs associated with compliance work and utilise our experience as advisers.
- Assign work so that a suitable team member at the lowest appropriate charge-out rate can capably perform it.
- Pursue our Mission Statement with energy and passion, never compromising our Core Values
To assist us achieve our desired service levels, we ask clients to:
- Provide information as requested
- Endeavour to answer our queries promptly
- Follow up items and initiatives as agreed
- Pay fees by the due date.
We strongly believe that the most valuable component of an accountant’s service springs from open communication, and the readiness of clients to give us the opportunity to assist with any management or financial-related decisions.
