Solid foundation set for US Company
Abdera allowed us to focus on what we’re good at – helping people to get their solar system back up and running.
Dr David Pethick – Managing Director Omnidian Australia
Overview
Business need
After winning our first client in Australia, a US-based company needed to quickly establish an Australian operating company.
The solution
Abdera set up the new Australian subsidiary, and provide a solid foundation that has allowed us to grow quickly in Australia.
The benefit
The US-team was overstretched and didn’t have the expertise necessary to launch Omnidian Australia. Abdera filled the void and got Omnidian Australia up and running in just a few weeks.
Omnidian is a US-based company headquartered in Seattle (Washington). Omnidian has become a market leader in rooftop solar asset management services. Our residential and commercial portfolios have approximately 200,000 solar systems under management.
Omnidian began exploring international growth opportunities in 2022. The Australian market was identified as the best opportunity for Omnidian to take its unique model offshore.
Abdera set up their Australian subsidiary and now provides ongoing services to Omnidian Australia, such as –
Corporate Services – provide skilled governance of the subsidiary, including company secretarial and bank opening services.
Taxation – meet all taxation obligations with accurate reporting and lodging of all tax filings.
Accounting Services –accurate accounting data and reports to meet both Australian and parent company accounting requirements.
HR & Payroll Services – HR, payroll & superannuation processing, deductions and reporting.
Cashflow Management – efficient systems to maximise revenues.
Questionnaire with David Pethick from Omnidian Australia Pty Ltd
What were your reasons for choosing Abdera company’s services?
We needed an advisor who was experienced in establishing an Australian subsidiary for a US-based company. After speaking with several firms, I hadn’t yet found a match for our needs. With just one phone call, Stefanie set my mind at ease. She had practical solutions for the challenges we needed to overcome.
How would you describe the quality of our services?
Abdera provides outstanding services. Stefanie has the answers to every question and she makes complex issues simple.
Did our services meet or exceed your expectations? If yes, please explain how.
Abdera has exceeded our expectations at every step of the journey. From company establishment through to the first few months of operations, Stefanie has guided us expertly through the necessary steps.
What specific results or benefits did you experience from using our services?
Above all else, Abdera has taken the stress out of establishing an offshore entity. Stefanie has managed everything necessary to set up a business in Australia and has provided expert guidance at every step. This allowed me to focus on our staff and clients, rather than worrying about the day-to-day management of the finances. We could never have set up our business so quickly and professionally without Abdera.
How would you describe the level of communication and support you received from our team?
Stefanie is a brilliant communicator. She clearly explains each step of the journey and there are no surprises. I’ve come to regard Stefanie as our fractional-CFO, making sure that the Australian business is running smoothly.
Would you recommend our services to others? If yes, why?
I would strongly recommend Abdera to anybody seeking to establish a company in Australia. Stefanie has been an invaluable advisor and she quickly and professionally manages any issue.
Is there anything you think we could improve upon in the future?
No. Abdera has provided everything we need, and Stefanie has gone “above and beyond” in delivering an outstanding level of support.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Thank you, Abdera. We couldn’t have done it without you.
