Who we are
Welcome to Distinct Business Solutions or DBS for short.
We are a small accounting firm based in Wollongong where we specialise in helping micro, small and medium businesses.
‘We seek to be worth knowing, Rather than being well-known’
I’m Sandy Visser, Director and Chief Financial Everything at DBS. I help small and medium businesses (SMEs) to understand and control their finances. I know accounting can be confusing, daunting and difficult for business owners, so I aim to demystify finances. With over 15 years experience as an Accountant and Virtual CFO (Chief Financial Officer) I can help with everything from setting up and planning a business to taxation and strategic planning, for individuals, sole traders, companies, partnerships and trusts.
I won’t hand you your BAS or tax return and say “see you next time”, instead I take the time to explain and analyse your results. I see my role as a trusted partner in your business, helping you to manage costs, innovate and prepare for the future.
As a small business owner myself I understand the challenges businesses face on a daily basis. I grew up with these challenges with my parent’s small business. This experience grew into a passion for small business and finance, leading me toward an accounting degree and CPA qualification before a career highlight of becoming the manager of the finance team of a publicly listed company. When my first daughter was born though my priorities changed, I wanted to be the best Mum I could possibly be, but I didn’t want to give up on my career dreams either. Distinct Business Solutions was born out of my desire to work with amazing businesses and maintain a work/life balance, a need to put 100% into my work and life as a new mum.

How can DBS help YOU?
If you need help starting or growing your small business, Distinct Business Solutions is your partner in business.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. We look at each client’s specific needs and develop strategies that are tailor-made to support, strengthen and grow your business.
Distinct Business Solutions can assist you at every stage of your journey, from start-up & growth to succession planning and business sale.
We can help you manage your commercial decisions and strategies. By regularly reviewing your business performance, you will gain an understanding of what’s working and what isn’t, making the ‘tough’ decisions a lot easier.
We understand that it is essential to trust your accountant and business adviser. You need to know that your accountant will do more for you than tick a few boxes and collect their fee.
We build a trusted relationship with our clients providing honest feedback and ideas for improvement.

Client Love
Chase Murray is a restaurant entrepreneur and has been in business for over 5 years. He explains that life before Distinct Business Solutions virtual CFO services was “very stressful, my house was filled with paperwork”. With DBS on his side Chase says he “can focus on the business and grow the business… can look forward to all the things that I enjoy coming to work for”.
“I am extremely grateful that a friend recommended Sandy from DBS to me in my hour of need. Sandy communicates clearly the services and fee structure she provides, so there were no hidden surprises which meant a level of trust was established quickly. Sandy’s service is of a high standard and I feel safe leaving my accounts in her hands. I would recommend DBS without hesitation.”
