Introducing MerloAdvisory

MerloAdvisory began in 2014 when our Managing Director Travis was working as a Global Insider Threat Leader with GE Capital. MerloAdvisory provided bespoke integrity consulting to a number of clients, including three Victorian Government departments, a country local council and a Government regulator. In 2024 Travis saw a gap in the market, a firm that provides ‘Big-4’ expertise and capability to all clients, without the conflict with audit clients, outsourcing to other countries to make better margins, and most of all – someone who cares about the outcome for your business.

Key Areas

  • Provision of investigation services.
  • Management of integrity incidents, from initial action through to law enforcement liaison.
  • Risk assessment and management – prevention is better than a cure.
