Beyond Numbers

At Shepherdson & Company, we believe that business should be a force for good — not just for financial outcomes, but for people and society as a whole. That’s why we’re committed to making a positive impact in everything we do.

For our clients, that means delivering high-quality, tailored advice that supports growth and long-term sustainability. For our community, it means sharing our knowledge, giving back through pro bono work, and supporting initiatives that make a real difference. And for the planet, it means embracing cloud-based, paperless solutions that reduce waste and encourage more sustainable business practices.

Learn more about how we’re giving back through our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives:

    • We provide pro bono or discounted services to local not-for-profits, charities, or social enterprises.

    • We support and run financial literacy workshops for small business owners, community groups, or students.

    • We mentor young professionals or accounting students through programs like CA ANZ mentoring.

    • We operate as a mostly paperless office and encourage clients to adopt cloud-based, digital solutions.

    • We support tree-planting or environmental NGOs annually as part of giving back.

    • We go beyond compliance by being transparent with our policies (visit our Governance & Policies page).

    • We prioritise suppliers and services that are sustainable or socially responsible.

    • We offer flexible, remote-friendly work arrangements that promote work-life balance.

    • We invest in continuous learning opportunities for our team.

    • We celebrate diversity and inclusivity in our hiring and workplace culture.

    • We dedicate a percentage of our profits (5%) to charitable causes that align with our values.

    • We sponsor local community initiatives or scholarships.

    • We share knowledge via our website and social media to democratise access to business/financial knowledge.

    • We advocate for better financial literacy and ethical practices in the profession.
