Meet Our Team

Maximise your business profits with the best commercial experience.

Accountants and More was started by Terry Murphy in 2001 and its philosophy was a “different way of thinking”.

Terry was Commercial Manager at James Hardie and CSR and was responsible for several business turnarounds saved from closure to be now some of Australia’s strongest businesses. We have structured the business along the same lines as James Hardie and CSR where we have the smartest and youngest workforces in each branch. Its our goal to help you have the same sort of success that Terry generated for some of Australia’s best companies.

We have branches in Forster, Woolgoolga, Coffs Harbour, Warriewood, Sydney and soon to open in Adelaide.
