The story behind the firm
Manraj Singh, Founder and Managing Director of SMA Business Advisory, is a CPA-qualified, Registered Tax Agent with over 15 years’ experience across some of Australia’s most respected accounting practices, including KPMG, BDO Australia and Pitcher Partners among others, working with everyone from Big Four corporate clients with revenues exceeding $1 billion to high-net-worth families and fast growing SMEs. He has managed substantial client portfolios, led teams of up to 30 tax and accounting professionals and signed off on financial statements and tax returns where getting it right mattered every single time.
That depth of experience revealed a consistent pattern: compliance got done, deadlines got met, but the proactive, commercially minded advice that actually moves a business forward was the first thing to disappear once a return was lodged. Clients were treated as files, not relationships, and the people doing the real technical work were rarely the people they spoke to.
Manraj started SMA Business Advisory from Kellyville to close that gap for good. It’s built on a simple set of standards: proactive communication, real ownership of the work, and clients treated as relationships, not files. Every engagement carries Manraj’s direct oversight, backed by the technical rigour of a CPA qualified principal trained across some of the profession’s leading firms and held to that same standard from start to finish.
