Shaun Costello

SME Business Accountant

CPA, Bbus, DipFP

Shaun Costello is a business advisory accountant & the founding partner of Fuse Wealth (formally CHG Integrated Wealth). His primary objective is to help clients’ businesses grow strategically, ensure their wealth is protected and they have a tax plan in place that matches their goals.

Shaun has seen CHG grow from no staff in 2012 around 20 today and enjoyed every minute of it. His role has morphed in that time from being everything to everyone to now overseeing several parts of the business whilst still ensuring his clients are at the centre of everything he does.

He has a bachelor of business majoring in accounting and finance & has completed his CPA accreditation. Further, with the firm’s focus on Integrated Advice, he has a Diploma in Financial Planning so he can help clients on a wide range of financial and tax matters.

Shaun is also passionate about making a difference in his local community of Tweed Heads and Coolangatta, which led to him launching the Kids on the Border Foundation, which helps underprivileged kids have their best life.
