Divorce Accountant Moss Vale
We’re Here To Help
Separation and divorce is emotionally draining enough without the added weight of sorting out paperwork and dividing assets. At Pietsch Partners, we're here to steady the financial side, giving you clear, level-headed support and guidance so your interests are protected when everything else feels uncertain.
Operating throughout the Southern Highlands and serving clients across Australia and internationally, our accountants are experienced in the complex financial situations that separations can create. When a marriage ends, the assets of both parties are usually compiled and divided, either through negotiation or by order of the court. That process gets far more complicated when one party owns a business, and it's understandable to worry about how a settlement might affect your ownership or the way your business runs.
Working alongside your legal team, we can help you:
- Understand the business structure
- Determine the asset pool
- Identify the tax implications of splitting assets
- Reach the best possible position
If you need professional support with your settlement, get in touch with Pietsch Partners today.
How We Can Help
Often one partner handles the finances throughout a relationship, which can make separation and asset division much harder for the other. It's not unusual for someone to go in without a clear sense of the financial implications of certain assets, and to come out facing a large and unexpected tax bill. To make sure that doesn't happen to you, our forensic accountants give you a complete and honest picture of what you're actually dealing with.
Our forensic accountants can review the documents, flag anything that's missing and check that every figure you've been given is true and accurate. We can also value businesses, trusts and companies, and help uncover assets that may have been hidden. From there, we prepare a clear, thorough report you can rely on in negotiations or present in court.
At Pietsch Partners, we assist clients throughout the Southern Highlands, across Australia and internationally from our offices in
Forbes,
Dubbo,
Moss Vale and surrounds. For more on what we can do for you, give us a call on

How Are Businesses Valued?
Before divorce proceedings get underway, any business owned by either party will usually need to be valued. Most businesses are valued in one of two ways: on a net asset basis or an earnings basis.
The net asset method is, put simply, the value of total assets minus total liabilities. It takes in both tangible and intangible assets, so alongside equipment and machinery you also count things like intellectual property. The earnings method values a business on its annual net profit and the industry it operates in. In a high-value industry, a business can be worth more than its profit alone would suggest, and in a weaker one, less.
Each method has its limitations, and neither tells the whole story on its own. Our accountants can walk you through how the numbers are reached and what they mean for you, so you're never asked to make a decision you don't fully understand.
