Matthew Oakey, Partner

Director, Business & Private Client Advisory

I have more than 20 years of experience partnering with clients to achieve their business, investment, and family objectives. I work with many of Australia’s leading philanthropists.

I have built a successful career providing business and tax advice to high-net-worth family groups, and I lead our Family Office team. I am passionate about philanthropy and help my clients manage the financial and governance aspects of their grantmaking activities.

I also lead our Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, Co2, which engages with our people, local communities, the wider world, and the environment to create a positive impact.

My experience includes:

  • managing clients’ tax and accounting requirements
  • connecting clients with a broad range of professionals who add value to their business interests, including stockbrokers and property agents
  • working closely with our Wealth Management team to provide a full-service offering to high-net-worth families
  • holding directorships, trusteeships, and company secretarial positions in private companies and not-for-profit organisations
  • advising on succession and estate planning.

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