About Us
Great advice starts with great people.
So let’s meet the team behind the numbers.
Meet the Partners at Thrive Advice.
Andrew Miller
Andrew started in accounting and business advisory in 1998, with a career built around helping business owners make smarter decisions as they grow.
He holds a Bachelor of Business (Economics & Finance) and Bachelor of Business (Accounting & Finance), along with being a Chartered Accountant and holding a Diploma of Financial Planning, he brings both technical depth and big-picture thinking to every client relationship.
Andrew’s specialist focus is business and financial advisory - working closely with owners to bring clarity to complex situations and help them move forward with confidence.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find him spending time with family and friends, heading out for a dirt bike ride, or settling in for a good movie.
Adrian began his accounting and business advisory career in 2007, building a reputation for practical, straight-talking advice that helps business owners move forward with confidence.
He holds an MBA, a CPA Public Practice License, a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, and a Diploma of Financial Planning - bringing a rare mix of strategic thinking, technical expertise, and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly.
Adrian’s specialty is business advisory, working closely with clients as a trusted sounding board through growth, change, and decision-making.
At home, Adrian is a self-declared weekend sporting hero (at least in his household). Weekends are usually spent on the golf course or hanging out with his daughters and partner.
