Our history
We first opened on 15 May 2005 as Purkis Partners based in Emerald Queensland. I had a different surname then.
The practice initially formed as I took over from my employer. I had worked there as an undergraduate accountant from 1999. I finished up at my employer for the birth of my son and started my own practice later the same year.
My goal was to start fresh. I was determined to upgrade from the old DOS-based system and other practices. I spent a lot of time researching software and designing forms and procedures to be as efficient as possible. This drive to adopt technology has continued, particularly as I changed my entire practice from MYOB to Xero in 2017.
I relocated to Bundaberg in 2014 and continue to service my clients in Emerald and all over Australia.
I was very fortunate to be able to run my business from my home from 2006 to 2018, but in 2018 I moved to a small office in the Bundaberg CBD.

Helping our community is important to us
As my practice continues to grow, I want my business premises to meet and exceed the expectations of our clients in terms of accessibility and service delivery.
I plan to employ and train people in the profession as they are undertaking their accounting studies. I personally found working while studying enhanced my ability to learn and would like to offer this opportunity to others. I know it may be cliché, but I would like to be able to employ people from an underprivileged background, as that is where I came from.
Whilst running a business is about having an income and being able to support me and my family, I am not interested in making big money. I love the lifestyle being self-employed allows me.
"Looking back to 20-year-old me… I would never have thought this is where I would be. I am grateful to the mentors who have supported and encouraged me along the way, my family and of course my clients."
