Our story

A practice built on trust — and kept in the family.

Brian Paterson CPA, a registered tax agent and financial planner, commenced an accounting practice in 1980. In 1988 he purchased and merged it under the name Barnard Baudinette & Co, with one goal: to offer accessible, affordable and genuinely personalised service to individuals and businesses alike.

From our office in the heart of Melbourne's Southbank — by the Yarra, a short walk across the river from the CBD — Brian and his friendly team make your taxation and financial needs as stress-free as possible.
