A message from our Managing Partner,
As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what’s been a milestone year for Advivo and the incredible Brisbane business community we’re privileged to serve.
This year marked our 10th anniversary. A decade of working alongside ambitious business owners, navigating challenges, celebrating wins, and building something we’re genuinely proud of. When we acquired Advivo in 2015, our vision was simple: be the kind of business partners we’d want in our own corner. Ten years later, that vision hasn’t changed, but we’ve grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
We’ve forged some exciting new partnerships this year that strengthen our ability to deliver comprehensive solutions for our clients. Our team has also evolved, with Meredith and Shaun joining our team. Meredith brings over 15 years of practice management experience and ensures our team has the resources needed to deliver exceptional client outcomes. Shaun has 30 years of accounting and financial services expertise, helping clients get financially organised and use their profits as a wealth driver. We’ve also celebrated some wonderful personal milestones, with Anita heading off on maternity leave after the birth of her baby.
2025 has been one of our busier years. Legislative changes have increased complexity across the board, impacting everything from employment obligations to tax structuring. We’ve been right there with you, making sure you stayed ahead of the curve. Looking ahead to 2026, there are more legislative changes on the horizon. We’ll make sure you’re informed and prepared as implementation dates approach.
In this edition, we show you how to celebrate your team without blowing the budget or falling foul of tax rules and why now is the ideal time to tighten up your estate planning before 2026 arrives. From tax-savvy Christmas rewards to protecting what matters most, these must-read articles will help you finish the year organised, confident and in control.
Finally, we want to say thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your business, for the conversations that make us better advisors, and for being part of the Advivo story over these past ten years.
From all of us at Advivo, we wish you a relaxing break with family and friends. See you in the new year, ready to make 2026 your best year yet.
Kind Regards,
Leon Stephan
Managing Partner
