Our History

Tarrants Accountants was started by Ross Tarrant in 1988 as a sole practitioner in Balgownie, NSW. Ross’ brother Douglas joined him in 1992. Together they grew the business and moved it to its current premises in the CBD of Wollongong NSW. Over the next 30 years, 3 generations of Tarrants worked in the business accumulating 98 years of service to the business.

Today, the business still benefits from the involvement of the Tarrant family, including Ross Tarrant (as Consultant), Lara Tarrant (Business Advisor) and Steven Tarrant (Business liaison, entertainment & hospitality).

Just like any business, Tarrants has had its ups and downs during the years, including having clients hurt by the fund manager fraud at Trio Capital.

What doesn’t break you makes you stronger is the old adage. Tarrants was incorporated during 2015 and continues to provide clients with tax, echnical and compliance services.
