NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR) renamed Revenue NSW
From 31 July, the NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR) and the State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO) are called Revenue NSW.
All functions, administrative and legislative powers of both offices continue under the new name.
As changes are made to systems and information, users of the services of Revenue NSW may continue to see references to the OSR and the SDRO.
The State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO) website has also changed and users are redirected by links to the Revenue NSW website (www.revenue.nsw.gov.au) to pay or finalise fines and fees.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Marius Fourie - Director & Business Advisor
As Director and Business Advisor, Marius uses his accounting expertise and empathetic skills to work directly with business owners and help them feel at ease with their finances.
Marius saw a common need in clients that just wasn’t being met by accounting providers.
That need was for clear, open communication and streamlined accounting services that didn’t come padded out with any unnecessary features.
Business owners just don’t have time to compare different accounting firms to see which one has the best packages with the best inclusions (many of which they would pay for but never use).

Changed to this company in 2019 from former accountant and love their approach of organizing everything for me face to face with Xero set up plus being able to call as much as I need for set annual fee. They also picked up on something that was not done correctly by my former accountant and saved me $4k for this.
