In early 2011, a unique partnership within the Australian funeral industry was formed, with the establishment of Tobin & Mulqueen, a joint venture between Martin Tobin of OutLore Consulting and Peter Mulqueen of MGR Accountants.

Tobin & Mulqueen is a specialist consultancy to the Australian funeral industry offering advice and solutions designed to:

    • Enhance the performance and value of your Business
    • Assess the value of your Business
    • Make your Business “sale ready”
    • Assist you to sell your Business and maximise the price
    • Advise you in relation to business restructures and negotiations

We can also assist with other business consolidations, transactions and negotiations, and as a service to the industry, we can help funeral industry suppliers take new or innovative products and services to the market.
