Ash and his team are always prepared to travel and visit us, and our dedicated manager ensures a quarterly account review either delivered on-site or via a webinar. Whether by request from us, or from them to us, we regularly meet to ‘sit down’ and discuss, advise, prepare budgets and generally get to know what we need.

SCS & Centrogen Pty Ltd.

In 2004, a rapid growth period for our business was brought about by the acquisition of Centrogen by the SCS group. The amalgamation of the combined operations proceeded under the Centrogen business identity, with profitable business growth compounding at 30 – 40% over the next 10 years.

AAA Finance were engaged in 2004 to assist with structuring our finance arrangements and providing financial and general business advice for the group and rapidly became an integral part of the finance and management team until the business was sold in 2019
