Partner Accounting

What Partner Accounting does

Partner Accounting is a privately held, director-led accounting firm based in Gympie, Queensland, Australia, founded by Damien Perissinotto — a former partner at Brown, Macaulay and Warren — in 2021, with a small team of six staff holding post-graduate Taxation, CPA, and Chartered Accountant qualifications. The firm provides tax compliance and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses, self-managed super fund (SMSF) trustees, individuals, rental property owners, home-based businesses, and deceased estates. Service categories span compliance (business and individual tax returns, partnership/company/trust/superannuation tax, GST, ASIC corporate compliance, ABN registration), management (payroll, cloud accounting software), and advisory (financial reports, business structure and profitability, tax planning for growth, and buy/sell support).

The firm's technology posture is cloud-based service delivery using mainstream accounting platforms — Xero as the recommended solution plus MYOB, Reckon, and QuickBooks as alternatives — with phone, email, and digital signing used to serve clients remotely. Partner Accounting displays a CA ANZ affiliation as its primary professional credential and positions itself as software-agnostic, allowing clients to retain their preferred accounting platform.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services with publicly disclosed unit pricing for individuals (AUD 175 per individual tax return, AUD 320 per couples return, AUD 165 per rental property statement) and time-based quotes for business accounting work. Revenue is generated through a sales-led, consultative GTM targeting SMBs and SMSFs in the Gympie region and, increasingly, across Australia via remote delivery. Marketing relies primarily on the firm's website, direct phone contact, and word-of-mouth through professional networks, with no evidence of paid acquisition, institutional funding, or external ownership.
