Based in Kotara, Newcastle.
Helping small businesses & tradies across Australia.
Most of the business owners and tradies who come to us have had the same experience: an accountant who lodges the tax return and not much else. No conversation about structure, deductions, or whether the business is actually performing the way it should be.
“I started 123 Financial Group because I got tired of watching capable people make expensive decisions without the right financial information. Thirty years in accounting, financial planning, and mortgage broking, and the pattern is always the same. The advice exists. It just wasn’t reaching the people who needed it most.
When you come to 123 Financial Group, you start with me. From there, you are looked after by our senior accounting team — qualified, experienced, and genuinely available when you need them. We work with electricians, plumbers, builders, hairdressers, consultants, and sole traders across Newcastle and all of Australia.”
There’s a difference between a tax return that gets lodged and a tax return that’s been properly looked at. The first one costs the same every year. The second one finds what you’re leaving on the table.
We are Xero Gold Partners. If your bookkeeping is on Xero, or you want it to be, we can make that work properly.
Good bookkeeping is not just keeping the records up to date. It’s knowing what to set aside for tax before the ATO asks for it. It’s having your BAS done before it becomes urgent. It’s cash flow that tells you what you can spend this month, not just what you spent last month.

Most accounting tells you what happened last year. We are also interested in what happens next.

She got our refinance approved and saved us thousands with a lower interest rate.
Bec Morrow from 123 Financial Group helped us immensely when trying to refinance our existing home loan. We didn’t know where to start, but she provided us her knowledge and expertise which resulted in us having our home loan refinance approved & giving us a much lower interest rate. Would recommend Bec Morrow 100%, she never gave up on us!

Very helpful and accomodating for me and my business, came out and saw how we operate on a day to day basis, understood what we needed and helped reach our goals.
Definitely not the standard accounting firm, they spoke to me in terms I understood and didn’t try to bury me in accounting terms just to overcharge me.
They were also able to help me with refinancing my home loan, it was great not having to go all over town.
Definitely Recommend Jenny and her awesome team, in their fantastic new office. Great job!!!

Very different to any other accountant I have gone to. Since I found 123 Financial Group, I’ve gotten all my family to become clients.
They’ve helped my brother with his business, helped by dad get a loan and helped my mum with financial planning.
Literally a one stop shop for every financial need.

Shane, who I choose to be linked in with at 123 Financial Group, has shone on so many fronts.
He has patiently walked me through (in a one-on-one tutorial) the parts of Xero I want to understand, he is a fabulous communicator when I send him through questions I have, and he has found creative ways to solve things that have come up.
I value his insight and love having him on the Love Parenting support team.
