I’ve had the privilege of working with Brendan Dunn and the team at Allied Air Conditioning and Refrigeration for more than eight years. During that time, I’ve seen the business grow while staying true to its commitment to quality, servicing clients across domestic and commercial air conditioning, refrigeration and commercial kitchen installations throughout regional NSW.
Rather than competing on price, Allied Air has positioned itself as a premium provider, focusing on quality workmanship and strong supplier partnerships. As Brendan explains:
“We’re focussed on providing high-end quality. We work consistently with select suppliers that echo this with quality product. That gives us great buying power and allows us to invest in quality brands.”
Like many trade businesses, Allied Air has faced rising costs, labour shortages and seasonal demand fluctuations. Together, we’ve focused on improving efficiency, strengthening financial visibility and creating greater certainty around planning and decision-making.
Brendan describes the impact this has had on the business:
“We’ve worked with Matt for over eight years. He helps us keep an eye on stock levels, bad debtors – we’re less reactive and more ahead of the curve when it comes to decision-making.”
One of the most rewarding projects I’ve been involved in was supporting Brendan through the business acquisition and ownership transition. Clear communication, cashflow planning and strategic advice helped create confidence throughout the process.
“Matt is exceptional at creating clarity. He mapped the entire process and made sure communication just flowed.”
Our work has also extended into tax strategy, business structuring and long-term wealth planning, including the purchase of a commercial property.
“Financially, we were able to do it because Matt provided the pathway and guided us through it. That decision has set us up for long-term wealth accumulation and growth.”
Seeing businesses like Allied Air continue to grow with confidence is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
With strong cashflow, clear targets and trusted advice, Allied Air Conditioning and Refrigeration continues to operate with confidence, clarity and control in a challenging and evolving environment.
