About Us

Who are we?

We are a Brisbane based Chartered Account firm located on the cities doorstep. XERO is our main tool and we are very good at it. We have been XERO partners since 2010 when the software was just starting to make it’s way onto the scene. We've watched as everybody else jumped on board with us over the years and have watched their businesses flourish.

Originally, we were known as Rush & Associates but in 2016 we decided it was time for an upgrade, so we moved up the road a couple blocks and re-branded to RA Business Advisors.

We help small businesses grow.

We aren't the conventional pencil-pusher accountants you see advertised on TV. We are focused and committed to providing personalised services to all our clients. Our wonderful team can assist with everything from taxation obligations to providing personalised business advice.

Our background and experience is in small business and other business owners are the people we like working with. Where ever you are on your small business journey, we are here for a chat and to help when it gets hard.
