About David

David helps owners plan the whole transition — not just the transaction. Over 22 years he has guided more than 200 owners through exit and succession, coordinating the valuation, tax structuring, deal and the often-overlooked question of what comes next.

He works alongside owners using structured exit-planning tools to set goals early, lift value over two to three years, and arrive at the sale prepared and clear-headed — with a plan for life and wealth after the handshake.

What clients say

★★★★★

“David started with us three years before we sold. By the time we went to market the business was unrecognisably more valuable — and the tax was handled.”

— Former owner, professional services · Sydney
★★★★★

“He thought about more than the money — he helped us plan what retirement would actually look like. That made all the difference to saying yes.”
