We give tradies the edge:

Our philosophy

If you are looking for historically-focused, hands-off accountants, then our advice is simple – keep looking because that simply isn’t us. Equally, if you want someone to turn a blind eye to cheating on your tax, pass us by.

We focus on aspirational business owners. We help them run their businesses better so that they accumulate sufficient assets to enjoy a deeply satisfying lifestyle.

A key part of our approach is to help these business owners make better, more informed decisions. In this regard, our clients tell us how much they appreciate timely information and the insights our reports provide. We are not afraid to take the lead with what we do. We have a clearly defined path to the logical end point, which is typically sale of the business for a substantial capital sum.

As a Cairns accounting firm specialising in taxation, business, auditing, and superannuation, we know the challenges to be encountered on this journey and the legal structures to be employed which will build wealth and safeguard assets.

We've Changed Names!

GKS (Gregory Keith Stanton) Chartered Accountants was all about me, so now it's time for the business to stand on its own. I work long hours and miss out on a lot of precious time with my family. So in the next two years I'm going to work hard to try and change this. As we are all business owners we can all relate to this.

I have registered the business name Barrier Reef Accounting. As the Barrier Reef is an integral part of Cairns, I wanted to incorporate it into my business. I will also be donating a portion of the profits to charities that help the reef, such as Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.

Proven track record in helping private businesses succeed.

Building businesses in Cairns, Townsville, Port Douglas, Mareeba, Atherton and across Australia.
