 Edwards Constructions Managing Director Sam Edwards (left) with Partner Kade Wallace at one of the company's major construction projects. Edwards Constructions
'Edwards Constructions has used Booth Partners as our accountants for more than 30 years, so the two businesses have grown together. We started out as a building company operating from the back of a ute, and have grown into a company dealing with major construction projects like schools, hospitals and clubs. 'Often major construction projects involve tricky financial negotiations, and it is vital to get the financial model right. That's where Booth Partners comes in. They have evolved into much more than our accountants. They are also our business advisors and act as our CFO (Chief Financial Officer). Their advice builds on our experience in the construction industry, and helps us ride the ups and downs. 'We also combine with Booth Partners to provide a very good package to the clubs industry for clubs that are considering major renovations. We do the building and (partner) Kade Wallace provides the financial advice.' Sam Edwards Managing Director Edwards Constructions operates at the top end of the construction industry, specialising in large public buildings such as schools, hospitals and court houses. One of the company's best known recent projects is the spectacular Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre in Nowra. The company has offices in Batemans Bay, Nowra, Wollongong and Coffs Harbour.

'Booth Partners have been our accountants for 30 years, so we're obviously happy with the services they provide, as well as their dependability and their upfront approach. They are much more than our accountants - they are also our business and management consultants, and our taxation planners. We can't speak highly enough of the level of professional service we receive. 'We've worked with (partner) Doris James for 10 years, and have found her to be an outstanding accountant. She provides very positive advice on many aspects of our operations and finances, and ways to improve our business. But more than that, she is also the go-between who negotiates with banks and other organisations on our behalf to secure the best deals. We just leave that kind of thing to Doris. She is a great negotiator and really knows her stuff, so it is much better to have her negotiate on our behalf than do it ourselves. 'And Doris has excellent support staff. Her team leader Kerry-Anne Norman always sits in our meetings with Doris, so she knows our business really well too.' Lance Sewell Pharmicist, co-owner Priceline Pharmacy in Junction Street, Nowra is one of the Shoalhaven's largest and most successful pharmacies, employing 35 people.

'We work with a number of government departments and funding bodies, all of which have different reporting requirements.
