Clinton Stewart, Managing Director - The Enterprise Edge
As the Managing Director of The Enterprise Edge, a Chartered Accounting Firm based in Brisbane, Clinton Stewart completed his CA in a boutique Sydney firm and was fortunate enough to work with a mixture of medium to larger businesses, often with complex taxation requirements & business structures including one of Australia’s largest bus and coach operators.  Clinton operates his business quite differently from typical accountants in that he takes a forward looking, proactive approach.  He works with clients year-round and provides regular tax planning, advisory and support. Clinton looks ahead and plans tax optimisation, as opposed to a reactive accountant who only completes compliance work. Clinton is very passionate about the transport industry, having a love of big trucks from a young age which extends to occasionally repositioning road trains between the east and west coasts of Australia.  His passion and commitment to the transport industry has led his firm to become a Platinum Partner of the QTA and he is very honoured to work with the QTA for the benefit of members.
