“Lawsons. The experience and benefits of a big firm with small firm attention”

Robert Lo, CA

Background

Lawsons’ principal and founder, Robert Lo, is a chartered accountant with 30 years of experience. He gained his qualifications in the UK and worked in London over a period of 10 years, several of which, as a chartered accountant with a large firm.

Robert started private practice in Melbourne in 1990 after a few years with another large chartered firm in Melbourne.

In 2000, he founded Lawsons practice in Mount Waverley.

Large firm experience with small firm attention

Robert recognised that many smaller businesses are caught in a dilemma: they need the confidence of a big accounting firm but after paying premium fees find their businesses are not big enough to get the service levels and attention they need.

With this in mind Lawsons was set up to offer the experience and benefits of a big accounting firm with the dedicated attention by a small firm to businesses in the Monash area.

This has been very well received by Lawsons’ clients all of which are long term clients.

Robert is the chief mentor and coach to his team ensuring their skills, experience and professional requirements are fully developed and met. The practice values the development and growth of each of its team members giving an encouraging and conducive environment for work and learning.

This in turn translates into great service levels and attention to the needs of our clients.

Leveraging on technology

Lawsons at the start recognised that for a small practice to punch above its weight its people need to be supported by solid technology infrastructure and systems.

Over the years the practice has continually invested in making sure its technology platforms and hardware are kept abreast with new developments and applications.

This has enabled a small highly competent team of dedicated people to deliver high levels of service to clients quickly and cost efficiently.
