About Chris
Chris Mathew is a Partner at EEA Advisory and a Chartered Accountant with more than 21 years' experience in professional accounting and taxation. Based at the firm's Capalaba office, he works with business owners across Brisbane and the Redlands, giving them the technical expertise they need to manage their business and tax affairs with confidence.
Chris has worked with a broad range of clients, from small family-owned businesses to large private companies and foreign-owned subsidiaries. His industry experience spans manufacturing, retail, wholesale, tourism and hospitality, and property development.
He specialises in technical advice on complex tax matters such as acquisitions and restructures, and partners with clients on major projects so that tax issues are identified early and managed well. His expertise covers corporate tax, tax consolidation, international tax, the small business CGT concessions, and the acquisition and restructuring of private groups.
Chris takes a proactive approach to tax planning and advice, which means tax saving opportunities are picked up as they arise rather than after the fact.
Chris has a passion for the not-for-profit sector and charities, and in his spare time sits on the board of a number of charities. Outside work he enjoys running, surfing, AFL and travelling.
“Helping clients achieve their financial goals by acting as their trusted adviser. I particularly enjoy identifying and implementing tax strategies that deliver exceptional outcomes for my clients.”
