Hall Chadwick’s former tax and accounting partner, Rave Ravendran, established Aver Group in April 2004. Aver Group is a result of Hall Chadwick’s restructure and Mr Ravendran’s ambition to provide clients with customised accounting solutions. Mr Ravendran has over 30 years of experience in accounting, finance and information technology. His initial training began in 1978 at Middlesex Polytechnic in England. His studies then followed with 6 years of practical audit experience working for a medium-sized firm in London, Leigh Carr. After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, he continued using his accounting skills and experience in the information technology field. During 1990, Mr Ravendran and his family migrated to Australia. He joined Hall Chadwick in 1991 and due to the success of the division, he was invited to become a partner in 1998.
