Our Story

Raymond Taggart established Taggart & Partners in 2007, having worked in a number of multi-partner firms during his career.  Ray’s experience in larger firms was that, whilst many promote themselves as being proactive and able to give the resources of a large firm and the service and attention of a small, local independent firm, few could actually deliver on their promises.

He saw that many clients were getting inadequate advice in areas such as business structuring, tax minimisation and asset protection and many only saw a director of the firm once a year at tax time.

Noticing a gap in the market for an accounting firm in Brisbane supporting the small and medium enterprise (SME) market, Taggart & Partners proudly offers a highly focused and personalised accounting service as well as strategic business advice.

  • review rating 5  My husband and I changed over from our previous accountant of 25 years to Ray Taggart & Partners 6 months ago. This decision was not taken lightly, but Ray was highly recommended by our in house accountant in our business. Upon meeting Ray for the first time we knew he was a cut above the rest. Ray has proved that tour first instinct was correct. For the first time in 25 years in business, we have a clear and concise proactive plan in place with the structure of our business and personal plans for the future. It has been the best investment in our future that we have made for a very long time. I would highly recommend Ray Taggart and his team to anyone in business Thank you Ray Lorraine Parke Fashion Carpet Court Stones Corner

  • review rating 5  I was introduced to Ray Taggart when I abruptly learnt that "our existing accountant wasn't an accountant!" Ray and his team immediately took us on board and over a short period of time ensured compliance when it was needed the most. To know that you have a support team in the background such as Taggart & Partners, a team who will ensure that all aspects of owning and operating a small business is kept compliant, is a breath of fresh air. Ray and his team are always on the other end of the phone (or email) and a response to queries is always received within twenty fours - much different to what we had become used to in the past. I cannot recommend Taggart & Partners enough, thankyou!

  • review rating 5  We've recently become clients of Taggart & Partners after knowing Ray & Suzi professionally/personally for 10+ years. The change over from my previous accountant handled with ease/care, and the first 12 months has been eye opening. There is clear concise communication, a pro-active mentality, and a whole of team office culture that makes you feel like you're their most important client. Working with an Accountant/Business adviser shouldn't be seen as just a business cost, it should be seen as an investment, and switching to Taggart & Partners has been one of the best business investment decisions I've made in the last decade.

We have also been named as one of the most inspiring accountancy practices in the world having been selected for inclusion in the book “The World’s Most Inspiring Accountants” by Steve Pipe. In fact we were one of just 9 firms in Australia to feature in the book. Take a read of the case study which helped earn us our place.

Our Culture and Values

One of the first things that people notice when they visit the Taggart & Partners boardroom, aside from the sports memorabilia, is the prominence given to displaying our culture and values. Our team live and breathe it:

  • We work in a positive environment, full of excellent people, who are focussed on solutions at all times.
  • Personal responsibility and integrity exist at all times, at all levels.
  • Personal accountability is core to our beliefs – doing what we say we will do.
  • While we respect the individual, the team is more important than any single person.
  • Everyone adds value to the company, and contributes to its performance.
  • Everyone knows their role, and respects the roles of others.
  • Everyone chooses to be here, there is no victim mentality
  • The work environment is relaxed, healthy, comfortable and creative, but professional and appropriately urgent at the same time. It is a fun environment that elicits creativity and supports camaraderie.
  • We finish what we begin. We finish it well beyond our expectations. We always do a little more than we think we are able to do.
  • We do not operate as a consensus company to move the company forward. We operate on a functional model based on the vision of leadership.
  • We speak very politely using a person’s name – and we say ‘please’, ‘thank you’, ‘it’ll be my pleasure’ and ‘certainly’ as a minimum.
  • If we speak about a person who is not present, we speak as if they are listening to your conversation.
  • If we have a problem with someone, we talk about the problem only with them in private.
  • If something goes wrong we first blame a system not a person.
  • To be part of our team you MUST live our values and follow our client & culture performance standards to the letter. Team members are empowered to correct any other team member who is not living and adhering to them.
