Grant Slater
Director Tribe Group

When he’s not fishing or wine tasting (or both), Grant is overseeing the Tribe.

“Fish without wine is like egg without salt” – Auguste Escoffier

Grant has a particular interest, and expertise, in ‘Business Owner Exit Solutions’ and ‘Employee Ownership Models’. However, he believed a whole-of-life financial management approach, was lacking in the industry. So, he assembled a team of specialists from complementary financial disciplines, and Tribe was born.

Grant’s approach is very engaging.

If you were to ask ‘the Tribe’ to describe a typical day for Grant, they’d probably say “he swans about having coffee with clients.” And that pretty much sums it up.

The fact is, Grant is never too busy for Tribe clients, he meets with them in their favourite coffee shop — wherever they’re most comfortable. Although these meetings are ‘off the clock’ and casual, many meaningful decisions have been made during these casual encounters.

Grant believes the business of business is relationship driven and, the business of life, is human connection.

Grants mantra is — relationships and human connection equals trust and credibility.

He is proud of the Tribe and is confident that with their expertise — in everything financial, you will achieve your goals.

Beth Hinds
Cert IV Bookkeeping, BAS Agent 
Manager, Tribe Bookkeeping and BAS

When Beth is not balancing books and BAS, she’s balancing a soccer ball somewhere!

“Making good judgments when one has complete data, facts, and knowledge is not leadership – it’s bookkeeping” Dee Hock (Visa Credit Card founder)

Beth dipped her toes into many different sports growing up however, none truly stuck with her as much as soccer did. She loves that she can easily balance her sport and her job, that she loves almost as much as soccer.

With over 15 years bookkeeping experience, Beth manages a progressive team of bookkeepers and BAS agents. Her passion (apart from soccer) is working with small and medium businesses, assisting with all that paperwork stopping clients from focussing on their business.

Beth and her husband own a small business, so she understands more than most, the real issues faced by small businesses every day. A particular focus for Beth is limiting the stress that tax requirements have on her clients.
