Marc Reiffel

Marc Reiffel

With over 20 years in the game, Marc’s worked with everyone from multi-entity groups to time-poor tradies — helping them cut through the noise and make smarter decisions with their money.

A CPA with a Business degree from La Trobe, he teamed up with Peter Landers in 2021 to launch PAL Accounting & Advisory with a simple mission: do things differently. Whether he’s helping a family business plan for the next generation or a sole trader figure out how to work less and earn more, Marc shows up with heart, humour and the confidence that only two decades of doing the work can bring. When he’s not running the show at PAL, you’ll find him cheering on his local footy club, plotting the next family holiday, or buried in a podcast about something far too niche to explain here.

Qualifications :

Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), Bachelor of Business (Commerce), La Trobe University
