Empire Accountants was established in 2015 by partners Beth Hodge and Luke Gozzard, with a shared vision to breathe new life into the accounting industry.
Like all growing businesses, we’ve evolved along the way. Leonard Jiang joined Empire in 2016 and became a partner in 2020, bringing fresh perspective and energy to our leadership team. In 2025, Laura Stauder joined us in partnership after an impressive 8.5 years with the firm; a well-earned recognition of her expertise, dedication, and deep client relationships.
We’re proud to have built a brilliant team of people who genuinely care and are well equipped to look after all your business needs. You can meet them below.
Empire’s mission is to partner with business owners to help them achieve their goals through proactive, personalised accounting and advisory services.
Our vision is to deliver the highest quality advice and build trusted relationships so businesses can thrive.
We believe in putting people first, simplifying complexity, and creating lasting impact for the businesses we serve.
