David Buff
Managing Director
David Buff opened DB Advisory after working for a boutique suburban accounting firm for a number of years which specialised in tax and advisory services for SME’s. The firm serviced businesses across all industries with a large specialisation in the accommodation, hospitality and construction industries.
Since opening DB Advisory he has now started to work with larger private clients which has allowed him to diversify his understanding and outlook on specific client requirements.

Ben Culliver
Senior Accountant
A graduate of the University of Toronto (BA), Ben has worked with us for the last five years across a wide range of clients. His best work has been in assisting clients to grow by keeping things simple and customising their weekly and monthly accounting processes to be efficient and relevant. He has some hard-won experience in the process of converting businesses to new accounting software and resolving issues related to synchronisation and reconciliation between platforms. He has also been a patient teacher in assisting clients to learn new software.
Outside of the office Ben is a handy cook and an avid reader. He holds the ignominious title of being the lightest eater in the DB team, a shortcoming he will seek to rectify at the next Christmas lunch.
