Wade Crane

Wade joined Brentnalls SA as an undergraduate accountant who was attracted by the finance industry's diversification. Fast forward, and Wade has completed the Chartered Accounting program and enjoys putting his in-depth knowledge and experience to use to achieve a positive result for his clients. Wade’s commitment to his role saw him rise to Supervisor, and in July 2022 Associate. 

Wade has a passion for providing services that add value to a business, whether through the streamlining of processes or providing outcome-driven advisory services to assist clients in achieving their goals. Efficiently completing compliance work and effectively communicating with his clients is also a focus for Wade. He believes most clients don’t have a passion for compliance and that their efforts should be on their core business services and strategies, as this is where they have the most significant impact.

Wade takes a proactive approach with a client-first mindset to provide support and ensure the clients' expectations are met and exceeded.

"Businesses are constantly evolving. My role is to help clients identify efficiencies and opportunities so that they can realise their full potential," says Wade.
