About
Arron Bennett
Arron Bennett is redefining what it means to be a modern CFO. As the Founder of Bennett Financials, he helps small business owners turn financial data into a growth strategy, using tax planning as the engine that fuels profitability, scale, and freedom. Unlike traditional accounting firms that silo services into bookkeeping, tax prep, or CFO work, Arron’s team integrates all of these with strategic tax planning at the core. His philosophy is simple: don’t just save taxes—use them as leverage to grow the business.
A Forbes Council Contributor, CFO Leadership Council Member, and recipient of the 2025 Global Recognition Award, Arron was honored for changing how small businesses approach financial strategy through integrated tax planning and operational efficiency. His framework challenges the traditional fragmentation of financial services by positioning strategic tax planning not as a compliance function, but as a central growth mechanism for scaling businesses.
With over 15 years of experience in business development and finance, Arron serves as a navigator for business owners, guiding them from their current position to their desired destination. Whether the goal is to double revenue, prepare for exit, or step away from daily operations, he helps CEOs make data-driven decisions with clarity and confidence. He likens his role to a ship’s navigator: while the CEO sets the destination, Arron maps out the course, allocates resources, and identifies financial “icebergs” long before they appear.
What makes Arron truly unique is his business development mindset. He’s not just focused on cutting costs; he’s focused on building companies. When a client says they want to grow from $5M to $10M, Arron uses the data to model exactly how to get there, helping business owners see what’s possible and stay accountable to the plan. His clients often describe Bennett Financials as the “quarterback” of their financial team—guiding strategy, ensuring alignment, and keeping every part of the business moving toward profitability.
Arron’s mission extends beyond his own firm. He’s passionate about transforming the accounting industry itself, challenging tax preparers and bookkeepers to move from reactive compliance work to proactive advisory and strategic guidance. After witnessing countless businesses fail because their accountants “just did the books,” Arron set out to build a better model; one where accountants help steer the business, not just record its history.
Before founding Bennett Financials, Arron built a successful career in sales and business across Australia. After a life-changing health event, he shifted his focus to understanding the financial engine behind business growth. That journey led him to earn his Bachelor’s in accounting and become a Certified Profit First Professional, allowing him to combine his growth instincts with deep financial expertise.
Today, through Bennett Financials, Arron serves service-based businesses generating $1M–$10M in annual revenue, providing forward-looking finance, aggressive yet compliant tax strategies, and monthly dashboards that show what’s working—and what’s not. His goal is simple: to give business owners freedom, control, and confidence in their numbers so they can grow without burning out.
Arron also gives back as a mentor, coaching startup founders in accounting and financial strategy through initiatives like GigLoft. His leadership, vision, and commitment
