Arbour Advisory is an Australian accounting and financial advisory firm that works exclusively with arborists, tree loppers, 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.

“George actually understands how a tree business runs — lumpy invoices, equipment finance, the lot. First accountant we’ve had who just gets it.”
“Saved us thousands in our first year through fuel tax credits and proper depreciation on the chipper. Highly recommend for any arborist crew.”
“Switched from a generic bookkeeper and the difference is night and day. Cash flow is finally predictable and BAS time isn’t a panic anymore.”

“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.”
