Our method

How we help trades businesses pay less tax, protect assets, and grow with confidence

Structure review and asset protection

We audit your entity setup, trading company, trusts, and holding structures, to find where your assets are exposed. If a workplace injury claim or supplier dispute hits your trading entity, your equipment, property, and retained earnings stay protected behind a wall.

Custom financial model and hiring triggers

We build a financial model on your numbers: job profitability, customer acquisition cost, margins by service type, and your hiring trigger, the exact revenue point where you can afford your next person.

Ongoing advisory and wealth strategy

We sit inside your business month to month, work through your cash flow forecast and goals, and tell you what to do next. When you're ready, we help you pull money out and into assets that build family wealth.

What you get

What you get when you work with Grey Space

Full structure review. Most tradies over $1M still run their day-one structure, which leaves equipment, property, and retained earnings exposed to claims and disputes. We audit your company, trusts, and holding entities to find the gaps and wall those assets off.

Tax compliance done properly and on time. BAS, tax returns, and lodgements handled without chasing, without delays, and without excuses.

Custom financial model. Job profitability, customer acquisition cost, margins by service type, and a hiring trigger that tells you the exact revenue number where you can afford your next person, down to the dollar.

Ongoing advisory. Monthly or fortnightly meetings where we go through your numbers, your cash flow forecast, and your goals. A senior accountant in your corner, not a grad who rotates off your account every six months.

Wealth strategy. Once your business is running cleanly, we help you build wealth outside of it. Commercial property, self-managed super, buying the warehouse you rent. Money working for your family instead of sitting idle in the business.

Jordan Kidis and Dan Goulbrev, founders of Grey Space Advisory
Who we are

Who is Grey Space Advisory?

Grey Space Advisory has spent over seven years working exclusively with trade businesses across Australia.

Founders Jordan Kidis and Dan Goulbrev started by helping a mate in the back of his mum's garage figure out a spreadsheet. That client now does $700,000 a month with 15 staff and a full office. Most of Grey Space's client base came the same way, word of mouth from tradies who got real results and told their mates.

Jordan is a regular on the Rask Invest podcast, where he talks about tax strategy, business structuring, and wealth building for Australian business owners.

He works with plumbers, electricians, HVAC operators, civil contractors, and general builders doing $1M to $10M+ in revenue.

Danil and Jordan conduct themselves with an exceptionally high level of integrity at all times and when it counts and has built a customer-centric firm that any business of any size would be happy working with. Highly recommend them.

I started working with Grey Space Advisory last financial year, and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Danil helped me achieve the best financial return I've ever had. He's incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly how to legally maximise your tax return. Highly recommend Danil and the team at Grey Space — you won't regret it.

After a few bad experiences with accountants, I'd worked myself into a bit of a mess with the tax man and was feeling completely overwhelmed. Danil and the team at Grey Space Advisory were a breath of fresh air. They were confident, calm, and sorted it all out.

Grey Space Advisory have made the beginning of our companies journey an absolute breeze. The team are easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, and so efficient. Jordi always takes the time to answer my long list of questions, in the most basic way possible to make sure I never leave unclear on things. I would highly recommend Grey Space to anyone seeking a forward thinking accounting firm!

We have been working with Jordan at Grey Space for 2 years and can't speak highly enough of his professionalism and knowledge. We have gone from having accounts all over the place to actually being in control of the business numbers and knowing what we need to operate. The advice that has been provided to us in terms of purchasing equipment, employing staff and just financial in general has been second to none and we wouldn't be where we are today without the expertise of Jordan and the team at Grey Space. Cannot recommend their services highly enough.

We have used Jordan and Daniel for many years now with our plumbing business! Not only with our tax and bookkeeping. They also offer business advisory strategy sessions which has allowed us to take our business to the next level. Super proactive with us and always keeping us accountable with our monthly meetings. Very very happy with their service and the way they take pride and care with every business they work with. If you have a trades business and are looking for an accountant that can help you take your business to the next level, Grey Space Advisory is for you. Highly recommend.

Grey Space Advisory has helped us move from PAYG into the business world with great communication and clear on time advice. Living on an island in a regional/remote area where it is difficult to access accounting help without having to travel to an office and deal with paperwork it makes life a whole lot easier when digital technology at the forefront. The team is always happy to answer calls and questions and make sure that we are on time with all submissions. After trying a few accountants which were either too large for a small business or the 1 person behind a large pile of paperwork Grey Space is so much better. Thank you.

FAQ

Questions? Asked and answered.

Most of our clients did too. We handle the transition. You do not have to have an awkward conversation or burn a relationship. We take care of the handover so nothing gets missed.

Even better. We have had clients come in with three, four, five years of outstanding returns and certified ATO letters piling up. We have seen worse than whatever you have got. We get you caught up, negotiate with the ATO on penalties, and set you up on a payment plan you can actually afford.

The structure review is one call. Onboarding is mostly us doing the work, not you. The ongoing meetings are 30 to 45 minutes, once or twice a month. You are not learning accounting. You are not doing spreadsheets. We handle the numbers so you can focus on running jobs.

The structure review call is free. If we decide to work together, pricing depends on the scope, compliance-only clients pay differently to full advisory clients. We will walk you through the options on the call and you can decide what makes sense for your situation. For most of our clients, the savings from restructuring alone cover the cost within the first year.

That is what the free structure review is for. We tell you where you stand. If everything is already set up properly and your current accountant is doing a good job, we will say so. We only take on people where we know we can make a difference.

Find out if you qualify

If you run a trades business doing $1M+ and you are not sure whether your structure actually protects what you have built, this call will give you a clear answer. Answer the five questions, and if you are a fit, you will be taken straight to our calendar to book your free structure review.
