An Interview with AscendPoint
Despite the extremely busy schedule for Choon Chong, EZ Australia was lucky to have some moment with this boutique firm, AscendPoint for a short interview.
What is AscendPoint?
AscendPoint (founded in 2011) is a Chartered Accounting firm and Registered Tax Agent based in exclusive Hawthorn – an inner suburb of Melbourne.
Who is Choon Chong?
A qualified Chartered Accountant, a Certified Practising Accountant, a Registered Tax Agent, a Master’s holder, an Entrepreneur: AscendPoint’s Managing Partner!
How is AscendPoint different from others?
It specialises in Property: Property Developers, Real Estate Agents, Property Investors: local and foreign. And, it is a 1-stop shop for all facets of business accounting, taxation including compliance (such as lodgement of tax returns), tax planning and advice for Company, Trusts (family, discretionary, unit), Individuals, Partnerships and Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF).
What makes it really stand out from the “rabble” is Choon’s unyielding passion to solve a client’s issues no matter what and to bring this further forward by highlighting value-adding opportunities that clients didn’t even know existed.
What is the biggest challenge your clients are facing?
Obviously, to pay taxes! However, when clients pay taxes, it actually means they have done well, and are profitable. Hence, our role is to help them to navigate the Tax Legislations, through effective tax planning, saving them taxes legally.
What are your plans for the future?
We aim to open branches in other locations in Victoria as we expand our reach to more clients. We are excited because from our clients’ testimonials, we know that our service proposition sticks well with them.
We are also venturing into the Personal Finance Management space and will soon be launching ‘moneyvase’ which will help users to take control and grow their wealth. Stay tuned!
Does your company engage in Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives?
In Australia, we are definitely considered a lucky country, and hence we always want to give back to the community. We work with charity organisations for instance the Dana Charity Group who have similar aligned values.
