Yellow Stone Civil Construction

Taylor Sabo, Director of Yellow Stone Civil Construction, was ready for a change when he decided to leave his role working for big companies in the city to start his own business in 2020. Yellow Stone Civil works across the whole breadth and delivery of projects from site supervision and construction management to quality control and consulting.

As Taylor knows, starting a business is an exciting and rewarding experience, but without the right support it can quickly become confusing and overwhelming. There’s a lot of legal, logistical, and structural processes involved that you want to get right – the first time.

“I engaged Ipsum Advisors at the very beginning to help get the business started. They walked me through the whole process from applying for an ABN to arranging the company structure with a directorship.”

“There was no guess work or uncertainty when working with Ipsum. They laid it all out for me, made sure I understood it well and put everything in place so that I could focus on the actual operation of the business.”

The business has grown rapidly over the last few years beginning with single-shop site contracts for a small private client to now working on subdivision projects with up to 450 sites.

“The biggest factor for me is feeling confident that I have the right people supporting me. I know that as I continue to grow and operate I can expect the same level of service from the Ipsum team. They’re always only a call away.”

“They take the worry and confusion out of day-to-day operations. They recommended an accounting system at the beginning that allows me to process all my invoices efficiently. They sat with me and explained it all in a way I could understand and be confident in.”

Ipsum supports Taylor with all routine financial services from monthly payroll preparation and bookkeeping to the annual fringe benefits tax return, ASIC review and compliance, financial statements and income tax return lodgment, payroll finalisation and single touch payroll lodgment.

We also provide advice when requested to support Taylor in ensuring his business is as tax effective as possible. This also includes continuous visibility of his file to be able to proactively recommend changes for improving the company’s financial performance.

“Working alongside a team like Ipsum Advisors I’m confident they are doing what they’re great at so I can focus on what I’m good at.”
