Patrick Pittavino continues his 38 years of dedication to looking after the telecommunications needs of local businesses with the Griffith Telstra Business Centre, a client of Pinnacle Accounting Partners since its opening in June 2010.

The centre is an innovation by Telstra Business to offer whole-of-business solutions; from business-grade phone systems, which attract substantial call discounts, to business mobiles and low-cost high-speed broadband. Fully trained and accredited business consultants offer on-site visits to discuss each company’s individual needs and determine which solutions are the best fit to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

The team is also trained in the little things that make a big difference, such as making sure your mobiles and fixed lines are on the best plans for your usage. They can order new lines and cancel unused ones, review your telecommunications bills to make sure you are making the most of the services you have, and combine multiple bills into one to save on paperwork and processing time.

To take advantage of the Telstra Business Centre’s advice and support, call in to Shop 4, 36 Ulong Street and see local consultants Garry Turner, Melody Montague or Anthony Puntoriero; or call 02 6960 3400 to organise an appointment at your business premises. Telecommunications are a core part of any business and you may be surprised by what’s available to make your everyday operations easier and more cost-effective.

Patrick had been working with the Pinnacle team for more than a decade before the merger between First Accounting Services and Holmes Keenan Turnell that produced the existing company.

“We have been working with Graeme Lyons [Principal] for many years and with another accountant at Holmes Keenan Turnell before that,” Patrick says.  Pinnacle Accounting take their role as accountants a step further with their business advice – we really value the sound advice they have given us on growing our company and continue to look forward to working with them in the future.”

Pastro Custom AG began in February 2008 when John Pastro realised there was a need in the market for the customising of quality farm equipment to better suit the needs of the diverse agricultural surrounds.  With John’s farming background, 20 years welding experience and over 13 years specialising in the design and manufacture of spray equipment, the business’ vision is to “customise farming needs for an efficient future on the land.”

The business has grown, with John and Kylie now employing five qualified and highly skilled staff, as well as occupying larger premises.  The business now designs, manufactures, modifies and services equipment for customers both locally and interstate.

In the new premises, Kylie has also pursued her own passion for sourcing out beautiful handmade and unique children’s clothing, homewares and accessories.  “Buzzi ‘n Moo” is now open to the public and is quickly becoming a favourite shopping spot for the local mums and kids.

“We appreciate the wide range of services provided by Pinnacle Accounting and the professional and timely response we always receive”.
