About

Patison Accountants leadership team

Patison balances tradition with modernity.

Our wealth of knowledge, our adaptability and our thirst for learning are key attributes of the Patison team both from the past and in the present. Focusing on the ways that tech can help our own processes, and our clients’ businesses, means we are always growing together. It gives our clients a big leg up, and draws on our 70 year history of constant evolution and striving – a tradition that we’re incredibly proud of.

We have achieved AFR Top 100 Firm status.

Hard work and the ongoing loyalty of our wonderful clients has earned us AFR Top 100 status and Xero Platinum Partner accolades. That experience we mentioned earlier? It’s culminated in an impressive team, a depth and variety of expertise that can’t be replicated and a level of trust from our clients that we are constantly grateful for.

Our History

1952

Founder Lindsay Ernest Charles Patison launched LEC Patison part-time in Warragul. He was an active member of the Warragul Rotary Club, joining in 1958. In 1984 Lindsay was inducted as District Governor.

Our History

1982

30 years on, Lindsay Patison was no longer with the firm which had grown in number and changed its name to L. Patison & Partners. In April 1982, we moved across the road to our current location 61 Victoria Street, Warragul. At that time, the firm owned two large hard disk computers. The size of the computers posed a significant challenge, requiring them to be craned through the windows of the existing building and taking eight people to carry them up the stairs into their new location.

Expanded to Pakenham with the opening of our second Office in John St. Shortly after we moved to Main St before relocating again to Cook Dr.

In December, we became part of the Stockford Group – a public company.

Our History

2003

Stockford Ltd went into voluntary administration in February 2003.  Michael Sheppard, Michael Vick, Wayne Heale and Ron Hogan purchased the business back, renaming it to Patison Partners in honour of the late Lindsay Patison.  It was good to be back – locally owned, locally operated and employing local people.
