Platinum Accounting & Taxation - Winner 2011 Powercor Melton Business Excellence Awards 'Mayoral Achievement Award'

Having entered the 2011 Powercor Melton Business Excellence Awards, Platinum Accounting & Taxation is proudly celebrating as a winner of the 2011 Mayoral Achievement Award.

The Mayoral Achievement Award is presented each year to a business that the mayor feels is a standout across several areas relating to business and community and Platinum Accounting & Taxation clearly impressed Melton’s Mayor Justin Mammarella.

Owner Corinne Cole started the business in January 2006 in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and in  decided to shift the small accounting practice ‘back home’ in 2009 to the Shire of Melton.

“We thought it was better to move the business back to Melton... The Shire of Melton provides an environment conducive to, and tremendous support for, the development of local small business”

“The move has been the best thing we’ve done for our business. The business has grown dramatically since our move. For this reason we felt we were at a point to enter the business excellence awards, we had something really significant to contribute”.

Corinne said “Winning the Mayoral Achievement Award was quite unexpected as this was our first time entering the Melton Business Excellence Awards, but we are so proud of our achievement. The nomiation process was demanding but, at the same time, extremely rewarding. Yes, we know our business, but having been through this process we feel we really know our business. The nomination process helped us to identify areas for improvement and it also highlighted those many areas in which we a performing extremely well. I would certainly recommend all businesses to nominate, as the experience is invaluable”
