Daniel Griffiths is an Associate Partner at LDB Group. Joining the firm as a graduate accountant in 2010 and progressing through accounting and management roles before being appointed Associate Partner in July 2024. With more than 15 years’ experience at LDB, he works with business owners across building and construction, property development, retail, wholesale, medical and creative industries.
His advisory work matters most when a client’s business is experiencing change; whether through growth, restructuring, an acquisition or sale, a change in ownership or simply a need for clearer financial reporting.
A particular focus is working with owner-led businesses where the founder’s expertise lies in their craft or profession rather than finance. Daniel helps make the numbers understandable and useful, giving owners a clearer view of what is happening in their business when they need to make decisions.
Many of his current client relationships date back to early in his career. That history gives him a strong understanding of what matters to each business owner, whether that’s maintaining visibility over cash flow, planning ahead for tax or responding to legislative change. It also allows him to tailor both his advice and the way he communicates it.
Daniel holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Economics from La Trobe University and a Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting. He is a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and a registered tax agent.
