Mark Gale
Director - Accounting
Mark’s been a gifted number cruncher since he was a kid, counting everything from jelly beans to working out the money beans and big bucks.
“I got some serious street cred from my friends as a youngster when we used to splurge and buy 200 chocolate buds from the milk bar for $2 and I used to make sure we got every last one - the staff quickly learnt they couldn't short change us.”
Accounting was a clear career choice.
Before beginning his own practice, Mark spent twelve years in medium-sized Canberra accounting firms. He quickly won the respect and loyalty of clients whose businesses consistently benefited from his insight and advice.
In 2021, Mark joined forces with Don and Denis to launch Business Street. Together, they’ve established a one-stop business shop with deep complementary expertise and an extensive network of trusted legal and financial service providers.
When he's not taking care of your tax or coming up with innovative ways to make your business even more impressive, you’ll find Mark playing princesses and fairies with his two small daughters. Or being taunted by the family Pug, a spoilt wee dog who enjoys the luxury of sleeping twenty hours a day.
Mark’s a diehard (some might say ‘tragic’) follower of the Wests Tigers and a dedicated fan of Neighbours. Naturally, he’s gutted by the demise of Ramsay Street and is searching for a new ‘soulmate’ TV show. Suggestions welcome.
If you’re a young tradie wanting to start your own business, an aspiring entrepreneur or an established small business owner focused on protecting the rewards of your hard work, you can’t go far-wrong by having a chat with Mark. He might even treat you to a few chocolate buds!
