Our Story

Xcelution is a boutique accounting and business advisory firm founded by Amanda Zhao, a Chartered Accountant with over 25 years of extensive experience in both public practice and commercial finance.

Amanda has held senior finance roles within multinational listed companies across a range of industries, including organisations listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

At Xcelution, we take a personalised and practical approach to advisory. We work closely with business owners to understand their unique challenges and provide tailored accounting, financial, and strategic advice to support sustainable growth and long-term success.

Our Approach

In a crowded market of accounting firms, Xcelution stands apart. Amanda's commercial background and hands-on experience mean that our services are not one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand the unique landscape of your business, crafting bespoke solutions that align with your specific goals and operational realities. This client-centric approach ensures you receive precisely the support you need to navigate financial complexities and achieve sustainable growth.

Areas of Expertise

We particularly excel in assisting businesses facing challenges related to cashflow forecasting, strategic restructuring, and proactive tax planning. A core strength lies in our ability to act as your advocate, successfully negotiating payment plans with the IRD to provide crucial breathing room and financial stability for your enterprise. We are committed to transforming your financial challenges into opportunities for success.

"Xcelution provided invaluable insights into our cash flow, which has been a game-changer for our business. Their expertise is second to none."
