Greg Hayes
CCH Australia describe Greg as a “serial entrepreneur.” An apt title for the founder of the Hayes Knight group, Knowledge Shop, and Merit Wealth. He is a practice management specialist, innovator, and published author who mentors and assists firms to grow and develop their potential.
A popular presenter, Greg has ‘been there and done that.’ There are no untested theories or marketing hype – just practical, realistic principles that are at the core of top quartile firms across Australia.
Beyond his practice management knowledge, Greg is a business valuation specialist. These two skills sets are a powerful combination when applied to the business of accounting.
Greg is a familiar face in the Australian media as an expert commentator on business and taxation issues. He is a former member of the Advisory Review Panel for the Board of Taxation.
