Company Profile

Our Background

Matrix Business Solutions was founded in 2001 as a general tax and accounting business. During its first years, Matrix focussed on developing a systematic approach to account keeping so that "clean sets of books" were ready for tax return preparation. Over successive years, Matrix grew its bookkeeping service. In 2007, Matrix Business Solutions joined accountancy practice, Arabon, to establish a new audit and account keeping division.

Arabon, itself, began business over 20 years ago in Brisbane's western suburbs. Originally established to service the tax needs of local clientele, its business has expanded significantly to icorporate high level accounting, due diligence and business advice services. Today, there is an incredibly diverse client base from individuals to medium-size businesses.

Our audit skills, which include more than 25 years of audit experience, lend themselves to the audit of Self Managed Super Funds (SMSFs).
