FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hobart, TAS – 09 October 2024 – Collins SBA, a leading provider of financial services based in Hobart, Tasmania, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Acumon, an accounting and business advice firm headquartered in Maitland and Lambton, NSW. This partnership will drive the creation of an innovative Shared Services Centre, designed to streamline business operations and foster greater client-focused growth.
This new Shared Services Centre aims to centralise key functions—technology, HR, compliance, financial management and marketing—relieving the Acumon team from time-consuming operational burdens. This innovative collaboration will enable businesses to redirect their focus on delivering exceptional client service, scaling their operations, and nurturing stronger community relationships.
A Return to Passion
For Acumon’s founders, Christian Tapp and Scott Atkins, managing the ever-growing operational complexities of their business had begun overshadowing their passion: working closely with clients. Countless late nights and long weeks led them to seek a solution that would allow them to concentrate on what matters most—building valuable client relationships and driving business results.
Their search for a better way led to this strategic partnership with Collins SBA.
A Game-Changer for Business Owners
Jonathan Elliot, Managing Director of Collins SBA, explains the significance of this collaboration:
“Christian and Scott’s journey mirrors the experience of many business owners—where managing day-to-day operations overtakes the core work they truly love. The Shared Services Centre is a game-changer, allowing them to refocus on clients and growth by offloading crucial, yet time-consuming tasks.”
An Innovation-Driven Future
At Collins SBA, innovation isn’t just about technology; it’s about enabling people to thrive. This partnership with Acumon highlights Collins SBA’s commitment to supporting businesses by providing essential operational services, allowing them to focus on client outcomes and community impact. Together, Collins SBA and Acumon are setting a new benchmark in financial services, creating a future where businesses thrive and relationships deepen.
