Who We Are
Our History
Tarrants at its height employed 70 staff across Tax and Accounting, Financial Planning and its limited legal practice. However investment clients were hurt in the fund manager Trio Capital fraud. After 10 years we believe clients compensation for these losses in not too far away.
Today, the Tarrants business still benefits from the involvement of the Tarrant family, including Ross Tarrant (Consultant), Lara Tarrant (Tax and Superannuation advisor) and Steven Tarrant (Business liaison).
Tarrants continues to provide tax, business, SMSF and accounting services to its ever expanding client base.
Tarrants is proud to be an employer of individuals of all ages and providing employment opportunities in the Illawarra for individuals with a diverse range of technical and other skills.
Tarrants, big enough to trust, small enough to care.

Tarrants’ guiding principles have always included growth through people.
Our principles allow us to deliver a committed service to our clients that will see those clients comply with their legal obligations. Our principles encourage our people to act as ethical professionals and as role models both within and outside of their work commitments with Tarrants.
