Built around your business.
A client-focused advisory firm for Australian business owners. March Partners works on the strategic side (tax structuring, virtual CFO, exit planning, ESOPs, business valuation), helping you grow, protect and realise the value of what you have built. The compliance is handled properly underneath.
Why March Partners exists.
March Partners started because we kept seeing the same pattern. Owners with strong businesses being treated like compliance work. Tax returns lodged, BAS filed, ASIC filings done, and nothing strategic on top. No conversation about structure. No model run before the big decision. No advisory in any real sense of the word.
March Partners is the alternative. A strategic partner for Australian business owners, thinking in terms of capital, structure and the multiple, not just last year's tax return. Our Chartered Accounting team brings a strategic investor's mindset to the strategic side of the work, and handles the compliance underneath properly.
The advisory relationship is built to run for the life of the business, and beyond. When the business is eventually sold or transitioned, the work continues into managing the passive wealth that comes out the other side, because the ownership journey does not stop at the exit.
We started March Partners to be a client-focused advisory firm. That is the priority, and it always will be. We will not always get it right, but that is what we aim for: understanding your strategy, where you are trying to go, and how we can help you get there.
Where business ownership meets investing.
Every business owner is a capital allocator. The dollars retained in the company, the dollars paid out, the dollars reinvested in growth, the dollars used to buy someone else's business. Every one of those decisions has a return attached to it, whether the owner has calculated it or not. The compounding of good capital allocation decisions over a decade is what separates a $2m sale from an $8m sale in the same industry. That framing sits behind every conversation we have with a client.
Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have shaped how we think about this more than any accounting textbook. Aaron makes the pilgrimage to Omaha each year for the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, for the education, and to be reminded that the principles apply as cleanly to a $10m Australian services firm as they do to a public equity. Margin of safety, moats, thinking in decades not quarters, understanding the difference between a good business at a fair price and a fair business at a good price. Buffett sets the hurdle rate at 15% return on capital; we are a little more conservative and want to see 20% on any dollar an owner ties up in the business.
In practice that plays out in three places. Structure: the entity, trust, ownership and shareholding decisions that decide how tax, protection and succession compound over decades. Cash flow: where the money actually comes from and where it goes, and what the highest-return use of the next dollar is. And the multiple: the difference between a business someone will pay 3× earnings for and a business someone will pay 5× or 6× for is not the earnings; it is the design of the business underneath them. Every engagement circles back to those three.
