Bishop Collins Accountants

Bishop Collins Accountants (also styled Bishop Collins Chartered Accountants) is an Australian professional services firm providing chartered accounting, taxation, business advisory, financial planning, and audit and assurance services. According to its official website, the firm has operated since 1994 and describes itself as a group of professional, expert and commercial advisors. It is headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales, with a second office at Tuggerah on the NSW Central Coast, allowing it to serve clients across the Central Coast, Sydney, the Hunter and New England regions, and more broadly throughout Australia. The firm positions itself as a full-service accounting practice rather than a pure compliance shop. Its stated purpose is to "Guide | Secure | Create" and to help clients "thrive, feel secure and achieve financial freedom." Its service lines span taxation and business services, business planning and commercial advisory, asset protection, business succession and valuation, estate and retirement planning, property development advice, risk management reviews, business coaching, financial planning, and audit and assurance. The firm emphasises a "no surprises" engagement model, promising pre-agreed services at an agreed price within an agreed time frame. Bishop Collins reports a team of more than 30 professional accountants and auditors, more than 1,000 satisfied clients, and over 150 combined years of director experience. Its leadership includes company directors Phillip Keenan, Glenn Harris and Juston Jirwander, together with associate directors Shelley Zalbergs and Paul Hooke. The firm is a registered company auditor and registered tax agent practice, and it markets itself as the premier audit firm on the NSW Central Coast. Its audit practice serves public companies, private companies, not-for-profits, registered clubs and hospitality venues, aged care and retirement villages, importers and distributors, manufacturers, education providers and private schools, religious organisations, and franchisors. The firm also highlights local government and not-for-profit specialisation. As a privately held Australian partnership-style professional practice, Bishop Collins is not listed on any stock exchange and does not disclose public financial statements.

Bishop Collins Accountants traces its origins to 1994, when the practice began operating as a chartered accounting firm in New South Wales, Australia. Over the following decades it grew into a multi-office practice with a team of more than 30 professional accountants and auditors, and it now describes itself as a group of professional, expert and commercial advisors. The firm established two principal office locations: one in Sydney's central business district and one at Tuggerah on the NSW Central Coast. This dual footprint allowed it to serve clients across the Central Coast, Sydney, the Hunter and New England regions, and throughout Australia. The Central Coast base in particular underpins its claim to be the premier audit firm in that region. As the practice expanded, it broadened beyond traditional tax compliance into business advisory, financial planning, and audit and assurance. Its audit practice developed industry specialisations including not-for-profit organisations, registered clubs and hospitality, aged care and retirement villages, public and private companies, import and distribution, manufacturing, education providers and private schools, religious organisations, and franchisors. The firm also highlights local government and not-for-profit audit work. By the 2020s the firm was presenting itself with a clearly articulated purpose — "Guide | Secure | Create" — and a service philosophy of "no surprises," under which engagements are scoped and priced in advance. Its leadership team includes company directors Phillip Keenan, Glenn Harris and Juston Jirwander, supported by associate directors Shelley Zalbergs and Paul Hooke. The firm reports more than 1,000 satisfied clients and over 150 combined years of director experience. It remains a privately held Australian professional practice and is not listed on any public exchange.
