HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE EMPIRE
Empire Accountants was established in Brisbane in 2015 by business partners Beth Hodge and Luke Gozzard who wanted to breathe some new life into the accounting and business advisory industry.
With offices now in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast and servicing South East Queensland, our aim is to look after your small business needs.
Beth and Luke believe that a good accountant will ensure your compliance and tax is completed to standard and on time. However, a great accountant will get up-close-and-personal with you (not too personal, that’s just inappropriate), care to understand your needs and share your vision for growing your business.
The Empire stands out from the crowd, not only by offering professional service and advice, but the team really will love the life out of you and your business!
In fact…
We don’t time bill like most accountants
We are generous with our face-to-face time
We will always return your call within 24 hours
We make transitioning accountants as easy as possible for you
We provide you with all the business guidance and advice you need
