What Archers - The Strata Professionals does

Archers - The Strata Professionals is a Queensland-based body corporate management company founded in 1982, headquartered in Brisbane with six offices across the state covering Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Cairns, and Whitsundays. The firm delivers full-service strata administration to residential, commercial, mixed-use, and resort-titled schemes under Queensland legislation including the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997. Services encompass secretarial duties (AGM convening, committee meetings, minutes), financial management (levy collection, budgeting, reporting), insurance coordination, maintenance oversight, and regulatory compliance administration.

The company's technology stack centres on the StrataMax owner portal for records access, applications, and committee communication, the StrataVote online voting system enabling remote AGM attendance, and the Smart Strata education platform serving over 60,000 subscribers nationally with courses, news, and networking events. Archers operates through a group structure of wholly-owned subsidiaries including Strata Compliance Solutions (workplace health, fire safety, sinking fund forecasting, insurance valuations), MAI Strata (insurance placement and claims management), and Smart Strata (industry education).

Revenue is generated through negotiated Body Corporate administrative agreements, professional services fees for compliance and consulting engagements, insurance brokerage commissions via MAI Strata, and subscription or event revenue from the Smart Strata platform. The go-to-market motion relies on direct engagement with Body Corporate committees and property owners, supported by thought leadership content, referrals, and industry reputation. The firm is privately held, founder/management-owned, with no external institutional capital identified.
