About us

Based in Brisbane, Empire Accountants was established in 2015 by business partners Beth Hodge and Luke Gozzard who wanted to breathe some new life into the accounting and business advisory industry.

Beth and Luke believe that a good accountant will ensure your compliance and tax is completed to standard and on time. However a great accountant will get up close-and-personal with you (not too personal, that’s just inappropriate), care to understand your needs and share your vision for growing your business.

Please note, Xero doesn't guarantee the service of any one advisor

We don’t review advisor listings and we don’t recommend or guarantee the service provided by any one advisor, so make sure you check them out yourself and get comfortable with them yourself.

Xero certification means that some or all team members have completed courses and been assessed by Xero as proficient in the use of the Xero application.

Xero specialisation means that some or all team members have completed several short learning modules to develop skills in that area.

Xero doesn’t assess any individual advisor’s or firm’s proficiency as an accountant, bookkeeper or financial advisor. And Xero certified advisors and advisors with industry or bank specialisations are not employees of Xero.
