Zorba Financial Services is an Australian company, owned and managed by Chartered Accountants specialising in the specific needs of the cash and hospitality sector; namely hotels, clubs and restaurants.
Founded in 1999, the company has grown quickly to accommodate the rapid boom in the hotel and club industries, and now administers the back-office daily for clients totalling over $120m turnover per annum.
To date, all of the company's clients have been referred to Zorba by its current clients and by word of mouth, and no advertising has been necessary thusfar. This is due to the fact that Zorba, in its short history, has become an industry leader, providing a service unparalleled in the industry both in quality and professionalism.
The principals of the company have extensive experience in day-to-day financial control issues that arise in the ordinary course of business. It is this experience and understanding of the hospitality industry in general that sets Zorba aside from its competitors.
The company employs 14 staff members in a smart-casual open plan environment. All staff are fully trained in industry specific accounting and management software, and despite the fact that the principals are always in close proximity, each staff member takes full responsibility for the management of their clients, from source through to completion.
Zorba Financial Services is a non-discriminatory employer, and endeavours to provide all staff with the vital tools and training to forge career paths for themselves.
