The history of this accounting practice stretches back several decades and the firm is headed by our Principal, Linda McGowan (CPA, B.Bus.). As you can tell from our website, we are not your average firm of CPA's who just keep the score for our business clients and we are proud to be different. While most suburban accounting firms view the preparation of the tax return as the end of the client process, we see it as the beginning.
A large percentage of our original clients were locals from the Preston, Brunswick, Carlton, Essendon and Coburg areas but that profile has changed dramatically over time. The internet turned us into a global business and it didn't take long for our client database to spread nationally and internationally.

Services
Our services to small business owners are both broad and deep. We started out as a very traditional accounting firm offering clients taxation and general accountancy services. As our client's needs changed over time we expanded our range of services and now offer an extensive range of accounting, taxation and financial services.
If you're an accountant looking for more than just a job, you've found the right firm. You can tell from our website that we are anything but a traditional accounting firm who simply churn out income tax returns. Here at Linda McGowan Pty Ltd we strive to be the best in our field and look for accountants who want to do more than just keep the score.
Australian taxation law is complex and the GST tax system places considerable emphasis on compliance and lodgement deadlines. To keep abreast of the latest legislative developments our professional staff undertake extensive professional development to ensure both our individual clients and business owners deliver a comprehensive accounting and taxation service.
Survival in today's business climate requires you to spend more time working ON your business rather than working IN the business. It's also important to know what is working in your business and what needs working on. This is where benchmarks can help you. Benchmarking is a way of assessing your business' performance by comparison.
As a business owner you sometimes have to be the 'jester' and juggle many roles including receptionist, general manager, marketing manager, production manager and shipping clerk. Having said that, most business owners also have to fill the important role as bookkeeper. While bookkeeping is a statutory requirement, knowing your numbers is a critical part of running a successful business.

I will provide my feedback as openly and as candidly as possible hoping that it will assist anyone who is considering this firm for all of your accounting needs. I am the type of person who likes to do everything on your own and am a strong believer that sometimes you need to learn to run before you can walk. Unfortunately the reality is that what you know, you can utilise, and what you don't know, you just don't know. This is where Linda and her team comes in to the picture. Not only is she an expert in her field, but also she provides assistance in a manner that can be as much or as little as
