All good business stories start with strong foundations, and a reputation that’s built on exceptional service, skilled team members, and a determination to exceed client expectations. That’s the Moore Lewis & Partners story.
Moore Lewis & Partners was founded in 1986 by locally renowned and retired Moore Lewis consultant Frank Moore who built a strong business focused on tax and business services for clients across the Toowoomba Region, Lockyer Valley, Darling Downs, Western Downs and South West Queensland.
Over the ensuing years the firm expanded to support clients in the areas of Taxation Services, SME Business Planning, Farming and Primary Production Accounting Services.
Changes to the firm in the early 2000’s saw new ownership under the current Directors:
