Clayton Wood

Clayton has run Business Edge Advisors since 2013. The practice has been on the border since 1988, and he took it over with the same idea it started with: a business owner should be able to ring their accountant and get a straight answer.

Most of his week goes on trade and small business owners around Albury and Wodonga, working through the things that actually decide whether a year went well.

He writes here about the questions that come up most often, in the same words he would use across the desk.
