Celebrating 35 Years
September 5, 2020
2020 is tough, but Haslam Consulting & Accounting are proud to be celebrating 35 years in business.
Our firm came from humble beginnings, starting as a sole practitioner office in downtown Toowoomba in 1985.
In those days accounting was a completed without the aid of any computers. Ledger books, cheque butts, pencils and calculators were the order of the day. Even assessment notices sent back from the ATO were hand-written.
Our founder, Sheryl Haslam worked hard to build a client base by focusing on careful attention to detail and fostering personal relationships with each and every client.
Over the three and a half decades later, technology and the taxation system have undergone massive transformation. Today, the compliance burden is larger than its ever been, but luckily we now have computers to help!
While the tools we use to do accounting today are vastly different, our focus on our clients and the quality of our work has never changed.
