Andrew Horrocks CPA
Principal
Andrew is a Principal at Bowden Liberatore, operating at the intersection of financial strategy, taxation, and technology. He partners with business owners and leadership teams as an external strategic advisor, translating financial complexity into commercial decisions, and embedding the systems and disciplines that give management genuine control over their numbers.
His clients range from owner-operated SMEs through to corporate groups, with a particular focus on project-based businesses where financial visibility, compliance, and operational rigour are non-negotiable. Andrew’s approach is built on a simple premise: financial control is the foundation of every commercial decision worth making and modern technology is what makes that control achievable at scale.
Andrew is recognised within the firm for his fluency across the modern accounting technology stack and his ability to architect financial systems that actually work end-to-end, from data capture through to board-ready reporting. He treats system design, process discipline, and change management as core CFO competencies rather than IT problems, and brings that mindset to every engagement.
Beyond client work, Andrew is a driving force behind the firm’s professional development culture, mentoring the team to ensure technical depth and commercial judgement evolve together.
Andrew’s key skills include:
• Advisory & Strategic Finance — Acting as an embedded financial leader for clients without a full-time CFO, providing the cadence, reporting discipline, and commercial perspective needed to make confident decisions.
• Financial Control & Management Reporting — Designing reporting frameworks and control environments that give boards, owners, and management teams a clear, current view of commercial performance.
• Finance Technology & Systems Architecture — Selecting, implementing, and optimising accounting, workflow, and reporting platforms to drive accuracy, efficiency, and real-time financial visibility.
• Project & Contract Reporting — Building structured reporting frameworks for project-based businesses that align financial performance with operational milestones and contract economics.
• Regulatory & QBCC Compliance — Managing Queensland Building and Construction Commission obligations as an integrated compliance discipline rather than a year-end exercise.
• Operational Improvement & Change Management — Restructuring finance functions, embedding process discipline, and leading the change required to make new systems and ways of working stick.
• Restructuring, Debt & Insolvency Advisory — Guiding clients through business restructuring, debt strategies, and turnaround scenarios with a focus on long-term commercial resilience.
• Taxation Strategy — Advising on and reviewing complex tax positions across CGT, GST, Division 7A, and small business concessions, with particular depth in structuring for owner-managed groups.
