Tim Stillwell, Partner

Director, Business & Private Client Advisory

I lead the Tourism, Hospitality, and Gaming (THG) industry group at SW Accountants & Advisors, bringing more than 25 years of experience across accounting, tax, and business advisory services.

As a recognised leader in the pubs and gaming sectors, I am a trusted advisor to venue owners, hotel groups, and investors navigating the commercial and regulatory complexities of hospitality assets. I work closely with operators on acquisitions and divestments, strategic planning, accounting, taxation, gaming, and business advisory matters across pubs, clubs, and other licensed venues. I also provide expert witness services for Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission and Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearings involving gaming expenditure and financial viability assessments.

Alongside my advisory work, I am a Director of On Tap Hospitality, SW’s joint venture providing outsourced bookkeeping, payroll, supplier management, and management reporting services tailored to pubs, clubs, and hospitality businesses.

I will speak on accounting and advisory matters in the hospitality sector at the Hospitality Real Estate Summit on 9 September 2026.

I am a Partner of SW Audit and a Director of SW Accountants & Advisors Pty Ltd.
