Partner Spotlight — Moore Australia

Moore Australia is a network of independent accountants, auditors, and advisors, with over 550 professionals across 13 offices nationwide. As part of Moore Global – one of the world’s leading professional services networks – we connect our clients with the expertise of more than 37,000 specialists in 116 countries.

We deliver strategic, tax, financial, and compliance advice that supports high-growth businesses. From Corporate Finance and Tax Planning to Sustainability and Audit and Assurance, our services are built around the evolving needs of growth sectors driving Australia’s future – particularly Fintech, Technology, Energy & Renewables, Health, and Government.

Our model is different. We’re built to grow with you. Our advice evolves as your business does – agile enough for early-stage ambition, and robust enough for the complexity of scale. In a sector where certainty is rare, we’re proud to be known for helping fintechs stay resilient, investor-ready, and well-positioned for what’s next.

The fintech sector moves fast - and that’s both an opportunity and a challenge for us.

Regulatory change, emerging technologies, and non-traditional business models mean we constantly need to adapt how we assess risk, provide assurance, and deliver advice. One key challenge is balancing agility with rigour – offering fast, commercially-minded guidance without compromising on compliance or quality. We also face the challenge of staying ahead of sector specialisation. Growth-staged companies want advisors who truly understand their model. That pushes us to continuously invest in our expertise, systems, and talent to meet those expectations.

Supporting the fintech ecosystem

Practical Support for Fintech Growth

The fintech sector is fast-moving. Moore Australia works alongside founders, CFOs and boards to reduce complexity, unlock growth and help fintechs stay investor ready. We offer pragmatic advice across tax, audit, R&D, and transactions – ensuring that as your business evolves, our support does too.

R&D Tax Incentives: Turning Innovation into Capital

Innovation comes at a cost. We help you turn R&D into financial fuel by managing claims end-to-end, ensuring compliance. Our guidance helps you structure future development to maximise eligibility and long-term benefit.

Corporate Tax Structuring: Built for Expansion

As your business grows across borders or prepares for investment, your tax obligations shift. We help design tax-efficient structures, assess exposure during deals, and implement equity schemes without unintended consequences. Whether you’re protecting IP or planning an exit, we help align tax with your strategic direction.

Audit for Growth-Stage Fintechs

Our audits are tailored for scaling tech companies with industry specific knowledge and commonalities we are very familiar with such as accounting for SaaS and usage-based revenue, capitalised development cost, and share-based payments to name a few. We prepare you for due diligence, support internal control improvements, and help you communicate clearly with investors.

Transaction and M&A Advisory: Readiness and Execution

From Series A to exit, we support strategic transactions that drive growth. Our team advises on capital raising, deal structuring, and due diligence – giving you the tools to move at speed and make confident decisions. We help you prepare for market opportunities before they arise.

Valuation and Corporate Finance: Numbers You Can Stand Behind

For equity incentives, impairment testing or board reporting, we deliver clear, defensible numbers. Our financial modelling and scenario planning provide insight that guides decisions and helps you present with confidence to investors and regulators alike.

Looking ahead: at Moore, we break the traditional ‘provision of services’ model and aim to offer perspective.

With deep experience in the Tech sector, we adapt our advice to your business journey and stage of lifecycle.

Our future focus is centred on deepening our impact in the fintech sector by supporting businesses not only as advisors, but as long-term growth partners.

We’re exploring new ways to expand our value to fintech clients by:

  • Generating real-time thought leadership and insights from our involvement in the sector: We generate timely insights and thought leadership grounded in real client engagements and active involvement across the fintech sector.

  • Collaborating with the ecosystem: We’re committed to contributing beyond client engagements. That includes engaging with accelerators, participating in broader conversations and events, and co-creating knowledge with founders, investors, and industry leaders.

  • Developing scalable support frameworks: We're refining our service delivery for earlier-stage fintechs – so they get right-sized advice with room to grow into more complex structures. The aim is to be more accessible without compromising on quality.

Ultimately, our goal is to help fintechs thrive through every inflection point – from first funding to mature growth stage, from product-market fit to public listing or exits. We're excited about the role we can play in helping shape a sustainable, innovative future for the sector.
