Our take
Empire is a Murarrie accounting practice established in 2015, with four partners and a wider accounting team. Its services cover business tax, advisory, SMSF administration and bookkeeping through its sister business, Empire Bookkeeping. The current Google listing has 70 reviews averaging 4.9, with reviewers praising regular advice and clear communication. One prospective ecommerce client describes being referred elsewhere because another specialist would suit them better. That is a useful reminder to confirm industry fit rather than assuming every business will suit its packages.
- Business advisory
- Tax planning
- SMSF administration
Who will you deal with?
Empire's team page lists Beth Gozzard as managing partner, alongside partners Luke Gozzard, Leonard Jiang and Laura Stauder. A wider group of accountants and client service staff supports them, with a separate bookkeeping team. The Google reviews we read name Leonard, Luke and Laura for business advice and ongoing support. Ask which partner will oversee your account and which team member will be your everyday contact.
