What Cutcher & Neale does

Cutcher & Neale is an Australian accounting and financial services firm founded in 1953 and operated through the EBSPH Pty Ltd corporate group, with offices across Sydney (headquarters), Newcastle, Melbourne, and Brisbane and a headcount of 51–100 employees. The firm offers a full-service financial practice covering accounting and taxation, superannuation, financial planning, wealth management, general and risk insurance (including the proprietary iMed medical indemnity product), aged-care advisory, mortgage broking through Cutcher & Neale Finance Pty Ltd, and virtual CFO services branded as myCEO. It also implements enterprise software for clients, with specialisations in Xero, NetSuite, and Ostendo, and operates the wealthstart sub-brand as a digital wealth platform for medical professionals.

The business model combines fee-for-service accounting and tax work, recurring financial planning and wealth management fees (potentially including AUM-based charges via the Mason Stevens integration), insurance commissions, and transactional mortgage broking revenue. GTM is relationship-led and vertical-specialised, targeting medical practitioners (since 1953), dental professionals, law firms, and construction/manufacturing businesses, supplemented by an Insights & News content blog, LinkedIn presence, and direct phone/web enquiry channels. Revenue is generated across two regulated subsidiaries — Cutcher & Neale Financial Services Pty Ltd (AFSL 433814) and Cutcher & Neale Finance Pty Ltd (ACL 381084) — which together cover financial advice and credit activities respectively.

In July 2025 the firm acquired BBB Partners (undisclosed consideration), extending its professional services footprint. It expanded its medical services offering into Queensland in 2024 and was ranked 7th in the Great Place To Work Best Workplaces in Finance and Insurance 2026 list, reflecting ongoing investment in geographic reach and talent.
