I graduated from Monash University with the Bachelor of Business Accounting & Bachelor of Computing in 2001 and began my 1st job as a Tax Accountant that year.
I completed the CA program in 2005 and was granted my certificate of public practice in 2008 which allowed me to start Andrew McLachlan.CA as a sole practitioner in Melbourne.
I received my SMSF auditor registration in 2014 and completed the Diploma of financial planning in 2017 in order to obtain a limited AFSL.
We changed name to Brisbane CA's in 2019 to expand business into sunny Brisbane which promises to be the fastest growing city in the country!
I began as a tax accountant but quickly developed an interest in superannuation. I became a registered SMSF auditor in 2014 although I predominately concentrate on SMSF Accounting & Tax return preparation. I have prepared the financials and tax returns of hundreds of self managed funds and spent much time studying how best to deal with recent changes to super.
