--- title: Information Centre | Business Guides & Resources | Trekk Advisory | Troy Furness (3) description: "Troy is one of the Directors of Trekk and our self-appointed 'Chief Ideas Person'. He's a CPA with more than 30 years in public practice, private enterprise, across large firms, family businesses and his own practice. He has also sat on the other side of the desk. Troy was general manager of his family's business. He led the contract to feed Australian Defence troops in East Timor during the peacekeeping mission. He has been and still is an executive director of a number of businesses and is now a Non-Executive Director of a large charity. Today Troy works with business owners and Boards of businesses turning over $5M to $100M. His work covers virtual CFO services, forecasting and scenario planning, tax and structuring advice, board advisory and business valuations, including valuations for family law matters. He tells clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear, and he looks for the fairest outcome for everyone at the table. The best piece of advice he's been given is \"Work hard and the rewards will come, if you give up, then so will the rewards.\" Outside work, you'll find Troy travelling to tick off the bucket list or out on his bush block.
