THE TEAM
PAUL PODBURY
PARTNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR
Woodend born and raised, Paul is the Founder and Managing Director of Rotallieo. With 16 years’ experience in accountancy services across a range of industries, he established the practice in March 2020.
Specialising in small-to-medium businesses, Paul places particular emphasis on gaining a thorough understanding of each client’s operations, to provide tailored advice and ensure best practice across all finance and compliance needs.
Crucially, Paul considers himself a partner rather than an external consultant, working alongside his clients to provide strategic financial advice that achieves maximum business growth and promotes efficiencies.
A qualified CPA accountant with a Bachelor of Masters and Commerce, Paul is highly experienced in all areas of taxation, accounting and compliance. He has a broad range of advisory experience gained from time spent in businesses actioning key finance drivers, and also from working with small business owners in areas such as business structuring, business sales and succession planning.
Paul’s breadth of experience ranges from a foundation in public practice and tax, along with managing the finance function for SME businesses, to leading financial due diligence and preparing business cases on several multimillion-dollar acquisitions. The latter was performed whilst maintaining full accountability across the client’s finance function, including niche areas like research and development, and intellectual property.
Paul is a proud father of two young boys and is an active participant in the local Macedon Ranges community, as well as President and Treasurer of the Woodend Hesket Football Netball Club.
