Consultancy adds admin arm

Sydney-based consultancy firm Australian Fashion Partners (AFP) had launched a new business services arm.

The new division, which launched late last month, will see the Kings Cross consultancy offer an extended range of services including bookkeeping and business activity statement preparation, debt collection, copywriting and service requirements tender preparation.

AFP director Dominic Beirne said an increase in the number of clients seeking help with their routine administration tasks prompted the move.

He said taking over some of the more time consuming tasks of operating an apparel business was a "natural extension" of the group's existing offering.
