Tax, structure, investment, protection, succession, not as separate conversations, but as one integrated strategy. Some clients have been with Adrian for over 20 years. That kind of trust is not accidental.

Adrian has been our trusted adviser for over 15 years. His ability to see across accounting, tax, and wealth in a single conversation is genuinely rare. He is not just our accountant. He is the first person we call for any major financial decision.

Running a restaurant group means cash flow is everything. Adrian does not just file our taxes. He restructured our entire business to maximise wealth and protect what we have built. The clarity he brings is invaluable.

I have worked with many advisers over my career at Qantas. Adrian is the only one who genuinely understood my situation and gave advice that felt tailored to me, not a template. I wish I had found him sooner.

Adrian brings a level of care and attention that you just do not find elsewhere. He takes the time to really understand your goals, and then builds a strategy around them. We have never felt like just another file on someone's desk.

Before You Reach Out

What makes VJC different from a regular accountant?

Most accountants handle compliance. Most financial planners handle investments. Adrian holds the rare dual qualification of Fellow Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner, meaning your tax, business, and wealth strategy are all coordinated by one trusted adviser. No crossed wires. No missed opportunities.

What does the initial consultation cost?

Nothing. Your first conversation is complimentary and completely confidential. It is a chance for us to understand your situation and for you to see if there is a genuine fit. No sales pressure, no obligation.

What size clients do you work with?

We work with established professionals, business owners, and families with complex financial needs. If you have reached a point where generic advice feels inadequate and you want a long-term advisory relationship, we are likely a good fit.

Do you manage investments directly?

Yes. As a licensed financial adviser and authorised representative (AFSL 449221), Adrian provides direct investment advice, portfolio construction, and ongoing management. This is integrated with your tax and structure strategy for maximum efficiency.

Can you help with self-managed super funds?

Absolutely. We handle SMSF setup, administration, compliance, and investment strategy, including complex arrangements like limited recourse borrowing. We also assess whether an SMSF is actually the right structure for you.

Where are your offices?

We operate by appointment across Sydney, with meeting locations in the CBD, Newtown, and Drummoyne. We also offer video consultations for interstate or time-poor clients.

How long do clients typically stay with you?

Many of our client relationships span two to four decades. We are not a transactional firm. We build long-term advisory partnerships that evolve as your life and circumstances change.

Is my information confidential?

Completely. Confidentiality is foundational to everything we do. Your financial information is never shared without your explicit consent, and all consultations are conducted in private.

The best time to get your wealth strategy right was ten years ago. The second best time is now.

One conversation. No obligation. Complete confidence.
