Our Team and Expertise
The company's basic expertise stemmed from its founder's experimentation with various companies as part of the learning experience while qualifying in Economics, Accounting and Law at Sydney University. One research company he founded was in market research winning a contract to conduct reader attitudes prior to the formulation of The Australian National Newspaper. P J Nelson & Co. was requisitioned to provide advice to other small business start-ups and also contracted to provide policy advice to a number of different political parties. Peter Nelson then qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Price Waterhouse in Sydney and established Nelson & Co., Chartered Accountants alongside the earlier consulting company. The company was fortunate enough to obtain one major client ready to accept Peter's out of the box ideas which allowed him to expand the company considerably by horizontal and vertical diversification. Following that success he went off-shore joining selected specialists working on international assignments, first in Africa with the United Nations and the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the UN, then with the Asian Development Bank, World Bank, and the European Union before returning to Sydney and Nelson Wheeler Chartered Accountants

Challenge makes everything worth while and the company is always looking for new ways to utilise its experience...
