Who We Are
For over 25 years our team of highly experienced accountants and advisers across the Gold Coast and Brisbane have been helping our clients navigate the everchanging financial landscape.
Formed in 1997, Cosgrove & Co Pty Ltd was started by Founder & Managing Director Brian Cosgrove in Palm Beach, in the very building that we still operate from today.
In later years, to meet the growing demand for financial planning services from our existing accounting clients, our financial planning sector Balanced Investment Strategies (BIS) was formed.
Following the success of the introduction of BIS, the firm we now know and love as BIS Cosgrove, was born. In 2019 we introduced our Self-Managed Super Fund sector of the business, BIS Super, which now boasts a team of 4 fully accredited SMSF Specialist Advisers.
A lot has happened since our inception in 1997. With over 25 years of experience, 14 staff members, 2 locations and thousands of local, national and even international clients, we continue to provide quality, comprehensive tax, accounting and financial advice and management.
