John Humphries CA

Director
John began practising in 1988 and is both a Chartered Accountant ‘CA’ and a Certified Practising Accountant ‘CPA’ and holds degrees in both Economics and Accounting. Prior to commencing practice John worked for the Australian Taxation Office in various technical roles after which he spent two years in corporate tax with one of the large international accounting firms. His true calling, though, was to be able to apply his extensive tax and business knowledge and experience to small business enterprises. John views dealing with true business owners as far more interesting and rewarding than dealing with public companies. John is married and away from the office he enjoys watching sport, trying to play golf, reading crime novels and, of course, wine.
