Blackstone Business Services Approach
Blackstone is committed to offering tailored solutions to their clients.
They offer their clients a one-stop-shop for all of their workplace growth and compliance needs.
The goal of Blackstone Business Services is to help their clients maximise staff performance and increase their profits.
We know that clients each face their own set of unique challenges, therefore, Blackstone approaches each new engagement with the intent to gather specific information so that they can devise a tailored strategy and solution for the client's business.
The Blackstone Story
Blackstone was founded to revolutionise the workplace relations industry in Australia. The goal of the team at Blackstone is to cut through the obscurity in the marketplace and offer the most premium business development and employee management services at an affordable rate for all clients.
Why?
When it comes to putting in place documentation or dealing with employee issues people tend to be either “PROACTIVE” or “REACTIVE.” Quite often people are the latter. Because of this reactive approach, employers usually seek help only once there is a problem.
Unfortunately, if you have not followed the correct processes in line with Fairwork Legislation large amounts of damage can already have been done. This is why at Blackstone their focus is to make setting up the systems to help protect your business a painless and stress-free experience. At Blackstone, you can now afford to be “PROACTIVE.”
Vision
The vision of Blackstone is to provide an advanced HR and MANAGEMENT resource that you can call YOUR own no matter how large or small your business, company or organization may be.
As experts in the field of workplace culture, employee behaviours, human resources and WHS strategy, Blackstone will prove itself to be a valuable complement to your operation.

Kevin Thiele
Kevin Thiele
Management Accounting
Kevin's interest in manufacturing extended to operating his own light manufacturing workshop with lathe, mill etc. He enjoyed developing the products but day-to-day manufacturing soon palled and he soon hired other people to do the routine work.
An accountant with practical skills? He met many who simply refused to believe that, but they have to understand the reverse applies too! You don't learn how to run a business on the shop floor and with only one skill!
Having grown up on a farm Kevin learnt early that you had to learn a variety of skills as help was too far away. He is very much a development type person and doesn't like routine. He didn't like the cities either, so living in remote areas meant you had to develop many skill sets yourself.
Consulting was his perfect career choice.
