CIB

What CIB does

CIB Accountants & Advisers is a full-service Australian accounting and advisory firm headquartered in Parramatta, NSW, with additional offices in Penrith and Sydney CBD. Founded in 1985, the firm operates across seven integrated service lines: Audit & Assurance, Individual Taxation, Business Taxation, Superannuation (SMSF), Finance Services, Private Wealth Services, and Business Advisory. It serves high-net-worth individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs, SMSF trustees, property and construction businesses, and not-for-profit organisations. The firm is governed by six chartered-accountant partners — Radlee Moller (Managing Partner), Ronelle Wilson, Abdullah Chowdhury, Angela Yu, Graeme Bellach, and Bradley Ross — supported by technical and administrative staff across the three offices.

The business runs on a fee-for-service professional services model. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed fee schedules; clients engage through direct office consultations, phone/email contact, and digital portals (ShareFile for documents, Class for SMSF access). Go-to-market is relationship-led: free initial consultations, content marketing via a regularly updated insights blog, partner-led LinkedIn presence, referral networks, and active participation in DFK International, DFK ANZ, and Chartered Accountants ANZ. Technology is non-proprietary — the firm is a Xero Certified Advisor and uses standard cloud accounting, document management, and client portal tools rather than building its own software. The firm's competitive position rests on partner expertise, 40-year brand longevity, multi-generational client relationships, and membership in the DFK International global network of 218 member firms across 90 countries.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; headcount sits in the 11–50 employee band. The firm operates as private partnerships, trusts, and corporate entities under the CIB brand umbrella, which also includes the DBAs CIB Private Wealth Services, CIB Finance, and a recently registered "Artificial Intelligence Specialists" — the latter signals exploration of an AI-adjacent service offering but lacks supporting product or engineering evidence in the source data.
