Arbour Advisory is an Australian accounting and financial advisory firm that works exclusively with arborists and tree-care businesses. Based in Sydney, we provide BAS and tax compliance, payroll, equipment finance, growth advisory, and outsourced finance functions — all designed around the realities of running a tree-service operation.
Why arborists choose Arbour Advisory over general accountants
Our clients value financial clarity, not complexity. Plain numbers, direct systems, clean reporting — without surprises, jargon, or delays.
Financial services built for tree-care businesses

Tax Optimisation
Never be surprised by a tax bill again. We forecast liability, capture every deduction, and lodge BAS, GST, and PAYG on time, every time.
Finance Function
CFO-level clarity without hiring a CFO. We manage bookkeeping, payroll, and monthly reports via Xero. See crew utilisation and margin per job in real time.
Business Setup
Start right — structure, registrations, and systems from day one. Sole trader, company, or trust. ABN, GST, TFN, PAYG. Payroll and bookkeeping built for growth.
Tax Compliance
BAS, GST, PAYG — handled. ATO correspondence — handled. You — free. All lodgements managed, records audit-ready, deadlines met before you think about them.
Equipment Finance
Get the chipper, truck, or tools you need — without draining your cash. Loans, leases, chattel mortgages structured around your seasonal cashflow.
We work only with arborists and tree-care businesses.

What Arborists Say About Us
Trusted by tree-care businesses across Australia • 4.9 stars from 47 reviews
“Arbour Advisory saved us over $28,000 in our first year through proper equipment depreciation and instant asset write-offs. They understood exactly how chipper trucks and elevated work platforms should be structured for maximum tax benefit. Finally, an accountant who speaks our language.”
Mark Henderson
Henderson Tree Services — Brisbane, QLD
“Before Arbour Advisory, I was drowning in BAS lodgements and payroll for my 8-person crew. Now everything runs like clockwork – GST is reconciled monthly, super is always on time, and I actually understand my cash flow. The peace of mind is worth every dollar.”
Sarah Mitchell
Coastal Arborists — Newcastle, NSW
“The benchmarking reports from Arbour Advisory showed me I was underpricing large removals by 15%. Within six months of implementing their recommendations, our revenue increased by $120,000. They helped us grow from a 3-truck operation to 5 trucks in two years.”
