Meet the accountant who speaks your language
Paul Stafford has spent a lifetime in hospitality at all levels, from shirt and tie boardroom level to front line cheffing for both large and small functions.
Studying Hospitality in the UK, Paul then went on to run some of the largest restaurant operations in the UK at a very young age. Since moving here in 1989 Paul has been involved in many national and international operations, from working for a consortium led by Jamie Packer with responsibility for the design and implementation of a large global F&B operation, to handling the transition of Mornington Racecourse for Melbourne Racing and hiring, launching and setting the standards for a catering venue handling sales of up to $1m a day and a team of 165.
Paul also runs his own business with a small team, so understands these particular demands. Paul is a qualified chef and recently formalised his accounting qualifications and registered with the Tax Practitioners Board. The Stafford Solution is fully insured.
