Kiara Calvert is now a Registered Trustee in Bankruptcy

Hamilton Calvert Advisory
Bridging The Gap in Diversity

 We would like to congratulate Kiara Calvert on her recent registration as a Trustee in Bankruptcy, making her only the second female in Tasmania to be registered since the enactment of the Bankruptcy Act in 1966.

 

Kiara now has dual registrations as a Liquidator and a Trustee in Bankruptcy.

 

In an industry, which is predominately male dominated (with an estimated 20 women in Australia who hold both registrations and with women only making up just over 10% of the country’s registered liquidators and trustees), our firm was successful in obtaining a grant from the Tasmania State Government for advancing careers of females in non-traditional fields of employment. This support facilitated Kiara’s registration as both a liquidator and trustee in bankruptcy and allowed Kiara and her colleagues to attend various networking events and conferences. We extend our gratitude to the Tasmanian State Government for their initiative and hope that other State Governments will follow suit to enhance female careers and promote diversity in the industry.

 

If you are facing challenges, please do not hesitate to contact Kiara, she is here to listen, help, understand your circumstances and provide support to find realistic solutions.

Success Story – Retail Business THE BUSINESS A well established retail business located in Tasmania operating for over 16 years. The business had experienced a reduction in sales due to a competitor commencing business in the region coupled with the director sustaining a lifestyle using company funds instead of addressing tax debt. THE SOLUTION Hamilton Calvert Advisory worked with the director to establish change in business practices, long term viability of the business and assisted with the creation of a repayment proposal to creditors. We worked closely with the ATO (major creditor) to negotiate any potential issues with the restructuring proposal, which was ultimately accepted. Within 3 weeks of the plan being approved, creditors received a dividend of 22c/$ and the business reduced its unsecured debt by $330,185 (45%). As a result of a change in business practices and the small business restructure process the company is now operating successfully. COMPANY FINANCIAL PROFILE PRIOR TO RESTRUCTURE ATO debt $723,808 Director had received Director Penalty Notices for unpaid SGC superannuation and PAYG withholding tax - $228,166 (personally liable) ATO had commenced proceedings to wind up the company, but had not filed with the Court at the time of our appointment COMPANY PROFILE AFTER SBR RESTRUCTURE Restructure Plan accepted by creditors Director paid Director Penalty Notices - $228,166 (from sale of property) – outside of SBR plan Director contributed $165,457 for SBR proposal SBR dividend 22c/$ Debt reduced by $330,185 (45%) Improved wellbeing of director Employee job security DEBT PERMANENTLY WRITTEN OFF = 45%
