Cobram Office - Now Open PDF Print

NEW OFFICE - COBRAM

 

16 William Street, Cobram

As one of the Goulburn Valley's largest accounting firms we are continuing our committment to the region by opening an office in Cobram. Our decision has been brought about by client demand for our services to the area.

 

Mr Ian Goodin is heading up the Cobram office. Ian is a qualified chartered accountant previously employed by KMPG as a senior accountant and more recently by BDO Spicers, a chartered accounting practice. In addition to Ian's accounting qualifications and experience, both Ian and his wife also operate a 160 cow dairy farm at Yarroweyah. The people of Cobram and district have a wonderful opportunity to use Ian's wealth of experience in public practice accounting and extensive knowledge of commercial businesses and dairy farming operations.

 

The office officially opened on Friday 11th December, 2009 and is open on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. To take advantage of the services and products provided by the M & S Accounting Group, please call in and see Ian Goodin or call our office.

We farewelled a long time friend and collegue in Tony Hansen in early August. Tony had been with the company for 23 years and felt that it was time to take a well earned break before setting out on a seachange. Exactly what that seachange is, is still under wraps. But we will let you know when we know more!


Christmas saw the departure of Jenna Chapman from our Accounting & Taxation Department in Kyabram who has decided to focus on her family full time. We wish Jenna all the best for the future! 


Kylie Williams has been fulfilling Jenna Chapman's role whilst she was on maternity leave, as a Client Manager in support of Gino D’Augello. Kylie has now been appointed to this position permanently.
