Our Story
Founded in 1986 by Phillip and Ann Scandizzo whilst still completing their Bachelor of Business at University. The business grew quickly as they had a passion for finance and with their dedication to improve clients financial positions made them trusted and proven advises. During the early years Ann & Phillip built a solid foundation by working with high-net-worth individuals in the entertainment, sports, consulting and service industries.
They developed specialised skills and knowledge in structuring clients in legal structures that help them keep more of the money they made plus accumulate valuable assets that them lucrative tax deductions that reduced their tax obligations significantly.
Their extensive list of business, tax and wealth strategies grew over the decades and soon they became the go to people to engage if you wanted to make a financial difference in your lives.
This knowledge has been passed down to the C & R team over the years to ensure that Ann & Phillip’s 3 core promises of making more money, keeping more of it and building more prosperity can be achieved by every client if they wish to do so.
And it can be done by design not by default.
