Daniel Bendel, Consultant Telephone: 0408 448 404 Email: |
Daniel commenced his career as a financial accountant in the corporate world, and later went to work in the accounting profession as a tax and business advisory accountant.
Early in his career he was asked to join a large family-owned manufacturing company and was there for over 30 years until he retired in late 2019 as part owner, Director and the Company Secretary. While there he ran on a part time basis his tax and business advisory practice.
Professor Bendel is still involved in the accounting profession and is thus in a rare position to see business from both sides: as a former owner/manager of a large family business and as a consultant business advisor to smaller enterprises.
He has facilitated a number of MBA subjects around Australia. He is also involved in many other business-related activities and has acted for clients in in a wide variety of activities including restructuring, forensic work, and business change management etc. He is a director and a part-owner of a food manufacturing business. As well as being a Director, he was the Treasurer of a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation for over 10 years. He has a lifetime’s experience working with privately owned businesses.
Recommendation
"Daniel provides a lifetime of knowledge and practical insight to assist his clients with all their business and tax needs. He is thorough, efficient and very responsive; values rarely found these days."

THE PRESENTERS: Cyril and Daniel
Background
The presenters met in the 1980s while attending graduate studies in taxation and have since worked together on many business improvement projects. The two would have formed a formal business consulting partnership but were impeded by their inability over the years to agree on whose name should come first. Should the firm name be Jankoff and Bendel or Bendel and Jankoff? To this day they could not decide and thus they never formed a formal business together.
