What we do

Brash Solutions is a strategic advisory firm specialising in employee share ownership plans (ESOPs), equity, and governance. We provide commercially focused tax, financial, and legal support to guide companies through growth, capital raising, and exits. If your structure is holding you back, we’ll help you improve it so you can focus on fuelling growth.

Three floors of a modern office building with open-plan workspaces are visible through large glass windows, showcasing rows of desks, chairs, and computer monitors, set against a backdrop of natural wood finishes and sleek architectural design.
Five people are laughing and talking together in a modern office setting, featuring contemporary wooden hexagonal wall designs and sleek workspace furniture.

Our approach

We help founders and leadership teams design ESOPs, structure ownership, clean up governance, and get ready for capital and exit events.

Our approach combines deep expertise in legal, tax, and commercial strategy with plain-English guidance that’s tailored to your goals and pace.

Ideally, you shouldn’t have to choose between agility and quality. Great businesses deserve guidance that’s fast, clear, and grounded in real experience — not buried in rigid process.

Our edge

Support that is integrated, pragmatic, and high-quality.

One adviser for tax, financial and legal

Most firms split commercial advice, legal documents, and accounting into silos. We combine all three on demand, so you don’t need multiple advisers or expensive full-time execs to fill the gaps.

Commercial focus

We bring multidisciplinary expertise through a commercial lens, giving you plain-English guidance tailored to your goals and grounded in real-world outcomes.

Best of both worlds

Founders and CEOs are often forced to choose: the authority of a big firm, or the speed and cost-efficiency of a boutique. At Brash Solutions, you get both. We deliver big-firm expertise, with one of Australia’s ESOP pioneers, through a small-firm model.
