About Us

Developing businesses, lifestyles and communities in Townsville and beyond.

First and foremost, we’re accountants. But we like to think of ourselves as a lot more. We work closely alongside business owners to bring more clarity, direction, and support, improving elements of your life beyond just the business. And, with our firm’s history in the Townsville area going back to the 1950s, we’re an established part of the local business community. We take that responsibility seriously.

How can a firm be diverse AND specialised?

Two words are very important to us here at Coutts Redington.
You may think that diversity and specialisation are opposites. We value both.You can see this in our diverse range of services compared to most accounting firms. But also in the way we specialise in a few key industry sectors. To explain a little more…

Diversity of services

Bruce holds a law degree, Greg being a member of AICD and our team have the experience and knowledge to meet your diverse needs.

Such knowledge complements all the accounting qualifications that our team has. It means that on top of the usual tax and accounting services, we can assist with litigation and disputes, estate and succession planning, and in other areas you don’t normally associate with accounting firms.

In addition to keeping the books up to date and the numbers clear for business owners, we help with important elements of their lives such as financial and retirement planning, asset protection, and assistance with the transition to aged care. All of this is provided under one roof.

One business ethic.

We service the local Townsville community and wider regions. Our team not only look after local businesses. We are also trusted advisors for businesses around Australia and overseas.

The foundation for this success is a consistent commitment to hard work, attention to detail and, above all, providing business owners with clarity, direction, and support.
