Seiva

What Seiva does

Seiva Pty Ltd is an Australian professional services firm headquartered in Southbank, Melbourne, with a second office in Adelaide, delivering accounting, tax, business advisory, wealth planning, funding, and specialist partner services to small and medium-sized business owners. Founded in 2012, the firm operates under the brand SEIVA and structures its offering as six interconnected service pillars: Plan & Grow Your Business, Run Your Business Smoothly, Stay Compliant & Save on Tax, Grow & Protect Your Wealth, Get Funding & Finance Support, and Specialist Partner Support — covering BAS/IAS lodgements, STP, FBT, SMSF compliance, business valuations, succession planning, lending strategy, and ATO representation.

The business is built on a partner-orchestrated delivery model rather than a proprietary technology platform. Seiva bundles advisory, tax, and wealth services through its own team of FCPA/CA-credentialed directors and qualified staff, and extends specialist capabilities via strategic partnerships with Leaders in Business (education and strategic advisory), GEN Finance (lending and finance), and Back to Front Bookkeeping (payroll and bookkeeping). Distribution is sales-led and relationship-driven, combining direct office consultations, remote advisory, an extensive content/resource library, and active social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) to generate inbound leads; pricing is quote-based and tailored to engagement scope with no publicly listed tiers.

Seiva is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity disclosed. The firm is led by Managing Director Brent Szalay (FCPA), with Directors Stacey Zuluaga (FCPA), Darko Balicevic (CA), and Janahan Kumaralingam (Wealth Advisor), and has recently been recognized as #13 Best Workplace in Finance & Insurance 2026 by Great Place to Work Australia. The client base spans construction, consulting, energy, healthcare, digital/marketing, and professional services, with a heavy mix of SMB engagements delivered Australia-wide from the Melbourne and Adelaide offices.
