Blackburn ' Prior Chartered Accountants 65 Years of Experience, Resilience, and Innovation. Ensuring your business pays off in meaningful ways.

Founded in 1958 by John Blackburn, our firm began as a small but determined accounting practice in the heart of the Northern Rivers. From the outset, John was a pioneer—becoming the first accountant in the region to computerise his practice. His forward-thinking approach to efficiency and innovation remains one of our guiding principles today. For over 65 years, we’ve stood at the forefront of cha

nge, helping businesses navigate an ever-evolving financial landscape. We’ve seen major tax reforms reshape the system—from the introduction of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to the rise of superannuation as a cornerstone of Australian employment. We’ve witnessed tax rates soar as high as 61% in the 1960s before evolving into today’s tiered system. And we’ve embraced advancements like cloud accounting to ensure our clients remain ahead of the curve. Our journey has been deeply intertwined with the transformation of the Northern Rivers community. We’ve supported businesses through shifting industries—from the decline of dairy farming to the rise of tourism, macadamia farming, and the trades. We’ve stood by our clients through natural disasters, economic downturns, and personal hardships, offering guidance built on decades of experience. Looking back, we are proud of the legacy we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned. More than six decades on, our commitment remains unchanged: to provide expert financial guidance that helps businesses thrive. Because in a world of constant change, experience doesn’t just matter—it makes all the difference.
