Fahad Siddiqui
​Director/Co-Founder

Fahad - the bloke with an unwavering smile. He is a family man and an Accounting wizard, in true Australian fashion.

He is one of those “salt-of-the-earth” type of blokes. He’s well-traveled and has influenced major players in the business arena.

With an experience of 15 years at senior positions with big 4 accounting firms and fortune 500 companies under his belt, he decided to bring the wealth of that experience to help his clients in the SME area in 2014 and has been in public practice ever since.

He does not however, let his extraordinary talent build that faceless barrier between him and his clients. Despite the impressive resume, over 20 years of experience in Accounting, being a CPA, a Chartered Accountant and a certified Xero advisor, Fahad is a firm believer in building true & honest relations with his clientele. 
​
“It’s simple” he says, “We would never be here if it weren’t for our clients. So besides being professional, the cornerstone of our firm, is being humanbefore anything else”

Fahad’s greatest strength is being down-to-earth and honest, he simply can’t help treating his clients like family. Add to that his accounting prowess and in him you’ll find the approachable and talented professional that you look forward to doing business with.

When he’s not helping clients, you’ll find him exploring the great Outback with his family or religiously playing Cricket on Saturdays.

Pramesh Gunasekara
​Director/Co-Founder

An Accounting Super-hero during day, a full-time dad at night. Born with a true talent for numbers and a sheer love for elegant solutions, Pramesh knew that Accounting was his calling very early on.

Amassing an impressive accounting and tax experience over a career spanning 23 years, his most proud achievement is not letting that get to his head, and for that he has his lovely wife and the three wonderful kids to thank for.

By his own admission, business is very much like running a family: 
“what you get & what you build is directly proportional of what you give.”
And he has the same mentality when it comes to his clients, as Clearstone Group is all about playing the long-game.

Having been appointed in senior positions whilst working with International banks, his last job was at Westpac as a Senior Tax Manager where he was in charge of a local and an international team.

Highly detailed-oriented with a technical prowess in SMSF’s, property and construction, he co-founded the Clearstone Group practice along with his long standing mate Fahad Siddiqui.
​
A rare kind of professional that loves making his clients feel at ease and helps them fully understand all the tax jargon in plain English, Pramesh’s biggest satisfaction is watching his clients grow and prosper.
​
In him you will find a trusted advisor, a success-savvy partner and someone that you are absolutely glad to have in your corner, when it comes to all-things-tax.
