Built for business with ambition.
Sydney based CPA practice Life Accounting was founded in 2015 by Richard van Lyf, a commercially focussed FCPA with more than two decades experience supporting start-ups, SMEs, and multinationals in Australia and abroad.
Richard envisaged building a cost effective, outsourced solution that combined fundamental accounting and financial support with hands on commercial and business development capability.
To realise that vision, he assembled a network of like-minded and experienced professionals to create an offering that doesn’t get consumed in the right-hand side of the decimal point.
Instead, we bring the team, frameworks, approach and insight that powers genuine financial and operational success.
We don’t just manage numbers, we help business live stronger.
Your business success demands sound accounting fundamentals, financial clarity, strategic leadership and commercial momentum.
We deliver this with services that go beyond number crunching. Our technical accounting and financial expertise combine with commercial insight and business development acumen to identify and achieve your business goals.
If you're ready to strengthen your accounting foundations, optimise profits, sharpen financial vision and seize growth opportunities, we're ready to support you.
We begin with an initial consultation to understand your business and ambitions. Pain points, frustrations, gaps, risks and opportunities are identified.
From there, we develop and agree a service and engagement plan that aligns with your vision and business needs. Our experienced team then collaborate with you in delivery, whilst guiding business outcomes using their knowledge and insight.
We don’t push siloed, over productised methodologies and rigid delivery approaches. All available options in our toolkit and network are assessed, including systems, technologies, partners and engagement methods. We know this maximises value and success for our clients’.
Every organisation deserves access to C-level accounting, financial, strategic and business development expertise regardless of size, budget or challenge. That’s why we work with businesses at every stage of their journey to move them forward with clarity, structure and impact.
We consider where your business is at in its lifecycle to ensure we are focussed on the areas of greatest value. Whether you’re navigating tough times, entering a phase of rapid growth or competing for high value contracts, we’ll deliver excellence in financial and commercial leadership.
