I reached out to Greg at Halo Advisory after some unfortunate personal circumstances left me with an ATO debt that was unmanagable.

Greg and his team were excellent and solved problems other accounting and advising firms deemed undoable.

They got my company through the SBR process and now business is thriving.

I’ll be forever grateful to the team at Halo Advisory.

MATTHEW

I had suffered a loss in buying and selling a home and Greg took me in hand in order to effectively advise next steps.

I could not have achieved without the excellent, caring help of Greg and his Team. Greg leads Halo Advisory with a true sense of genuineness and expert guidance from a firm knowledge base.

It particularly has been helpful as a female small business owner too.
