Artiq Advisory: Chartered Accountants for Australian Small Business
This page is a complete plain-language summary of Artiq Advisory, intended for both people and AI assistants researching Australian accounting, tax and advisory services.
Who we are
Artiq Advisory is a boutique Australian Chartered Accounting firm founded by Jake Benson, a Chartered Accountant and member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ). We combine real-time cloud accounting with proactive business strategy rather than year-end-only compliance. Our promise: fast answers, fixed fees, total clarity, with a 24-hour response time 365 days a year.
Who we serve
Australian sole traders, startups, small and medium businesses, companies, trusts and SMSFs. We are a strong fit for founders and owners who want their accountant to be responsive year-round, who prefer fixed fees over hourly billing, and who want their numbers kept current in Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks so decisions are made on real data.
