“Tax Concepts worked closely with Darren on a professional basis for a period of a year. Within this time, he helped us implement a number of new compliance strategies, including a focus on making the most of current software technologies and procedures, which are now being used throughout the office to improve our efficiency and to help maintain our long-term business goals.

During this time, we found Darren to have great attention to detail and be open and honest in his advice. He brought with him a vast depth of knowledge for our industry and we highly recommend getting Darren and his team in to help guide you in the right direction. You won’t be disappointed!”

I first met Darren in 2017 and I quickly learnt that he knew what he was talking about. Having built two practices from the ground up, I have seen the complexities and challenges that come with building an efficient practice. Darren was brought in to a newly merged practice I was involved in and he was completely au fait with how to get a practice humming which I can confidently say I have found to be very rare in my 32 years in the profession. Plenty talk the talk but that is where it ends. No ego, just professionalism is what you get. From automation to productivity, getting the best out of your software, or improving your processes and procedures, he has the skill set to get it done. If only I knew him 20 years ago it would have saved me lots of heart ache and lots of money / down time / chargeable and unproductive time. Anyhow, I have no hesitation in recommending Darren to help with improving your practice.

“I consider Darren to be the first point of contact when searching for the pinnacle of external consultants for improving my business. Darren has strategically aligned my team to my vision, executed the business plan and in turn, has kept me accountable. Darren's tools, templates, methodology, expertise and knowledge ensures efficiency, the effect being a pleasant and cheerful working environment for my team. The result being additional time which allows me to focus on my core business and expansion and equally as important, ensuring effective client communication.”

We have worked with Darren over a number of years on a variety of projects and have found Darren very effective at formulating strategies and implementing them across our business that has resulted in significant efficiency gains. Darren has been a sounding board to the Partners and acted as an independent voice to our leadership team. His calm and professional manner has made it very easy for us to bounce ideas off him and give us honest feedback on how we should go forward on various manners. Most Principals of accounting practices are so focused and emerged in their client’s affairs they often forget about their own business. Darren has helped us refocus on our own business and has kept us accountable to stay focussed on our business but at the same time not taken us away from our client’s affairs. I would highly recommend Darren and the Your Business First team to look at ways he can improve your business as he has improved our business.

“Over a two-year period, Darren acted as a contracted Practice Manager for my firm in preparation for sale/merger of business. His work provided a range of KPI reporting which led to improved productivity & cashflow and eventually a successful practice merger. This Practice Manager role was invaluable as the constant demands of compliance for a small practice meant much of this ‘in house’ work was being overlooked but necessary to lift the presentation of the practice to reflect its true value.”

I worked with Darren Xerri for over two years to successfully transition my firm to operate with a full-time practice manager. Having Darren in the office allowed me to focus on the clients while Darren built the systems needed to run the practice.
