Reshaping possibilities together
We create financial lifelines focused on reducing insolvency risk and preventing avoidable liquidation for vulnerable yet viable Australian businesses. Empowering small and medium business owners to emerge stronger and more resilient is our foundation and mission.
Our story: A commitment to empowering Australian SMBs
AVA Advisory was founded with a clear mission: to be a beacon of support for small to medium businesses (SMBs) across Australia facing financial challenges. Our story began when a group of seasoned financial experts and industry veterans recognised a significant gap in the market – SMBs lacked access to tailored, empathetic financial advisory services that could help them navigate the complex world of insolvency and financial restructuring.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, as businesses across the country faced unprecedented financial strain, our founders knew that they could make a difference. Driven by a deep commitment to supporting the backbone of the Australian economy, AVA Advisory was established to provide expert guidance, personalised solutions, and unwavering support to SMBs in need.
Our Vision: Leading the way in financial restructuring
At AVA Advisory, our vision is bold yet clear: to become the most trusted and innovative financial advisory firm for Australian SMBs. We aspire to lead the industry with a people-centric approach, setting new standards for how financial distress is managed and overcome. By 2029, we aim to be the go-to advisory firm known for transforming struggling businesses into success stories, with a reputation that extends across Australia and beyond.
This vision guides every decision we make and every service we offer. We are constantly innovating, seeking out new ways to support our clients, and ensuring that our approach remains relevant in an ever-changing financial landscape. Our commitment to this vision is reflected in the results we deliver – businesses that not only survive financial distress but emerge stronger and more resilient.

“AVA have been able to help guide us in terms of what we’ve needed financially. We’ve also engaged them with legal actions that we’ve wanted to prepare ourselves for.
To know we have that confidence behind us should anything go round or should we need those services is absolutely brilliant.”
“After the initial consultation with AVA, we felt that our issues were completely understood and very quickly our minds were put at ease.
We knew we needed to find a company that could actually communicate with the ATO on our behalf. An incredible amount of pressure was taken off me.”
“All of the AVA team have such great expertise and dealt with everything in so professionally. At no point did we ever feel lost or like they wouldn't be able to assist us.
We highly recommend AVA Advisory because of their expertise and dedication to getting a business where it needs to be.”
“I had massive bad debt standing over my head from our tax bill. The SBR process was painless and easy.
AVA Advisory changed everything for me. Their team did all the work – all I did was answer their questions. They were really good at following up, and communicating things in terminology I could understand.”
“AVA Advisory continue to identify any operational or financial exposure that we might have. They’ve been so good at helping us extrapolate to where we want to be, to plan financially, so that we can just really focus on being creative and marketing our business.
We feel like we are in really safe hands.”
“We went through the SBR process and negotiated our tax rate down, then came up with a plan to repay a portion of the tax that our company could afford.
AVA Advisory really showed empathy – they understood the situation and adapted it to help us. They just didn't treat us like everybody else.”

In a rapidly changing financial landscape, staying ahead of industry trends is crucial. At AVA Advisory, we are constantly seeking out new ways to support our clients and improve our services.
