Our difference
Sententia Consulting was born from a desire to challenge the status quo and be innovative in how we support our people and clients. Our staff come from a variety of backgrounds, including Big 4, industry and government, brought together by this shared vision.
In the 5 years since our formation, we have experienced remarkable growth. In 2023, we were recognised by the Australian Financial Review as one of the fastest growing starts up in Australia. Building on this momentum, we've expanded our reach with the opening of a second office in Melbourne last year. To learn more about our journey, check out our recent feature in the Canberra Times.
