SCOTT ALLAN
After graduating from USQ in 1991 majoring in both Accounting and Computing, my early career saw me as a Chartered Accountant with firms both on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane. In 1999 I purchased A Counting House and ran it with myself and one other accountant. Today I have a team of 11 incredibly professional people working with us as A Counting House has grown. I enjoy catching up with my clients each year and advising them in Tax, Accounting, Superannuation, Auditing and with Business Advice. It is rewarding to me when my current clients refer their friends, family and business associates to A Counting House because they know we can look after them. I have a beautiful wife and four children ages 15 to 22 years old. I am an avid sports follower and I regularly run between Mermaid Beach and Burleigh Heads to enjoy the Gold Coast and keep fit.

What I like about working at A Counting House every day is that my clients are interesting and the work is varied.

PETER BRUSH
Hi. I’m a Public Accountant, a Registered Company Auditor and a Registered Tax Agent. I have been providing services to a wide range of local, national and international clients for more than 35 years. These services include taxation advice, tax planning and tax return preparation, auditing of public and private companies, and business coaching and systems development.

I provide an optimum level of service through gaining an in-depth knowledge of your business affairs, and will always spend time at your premises to gain a better understanding of your situation, thereby enabling me to provide better advice.

Many of my clients have been with me for more than 15 years, some of them as long as 35 years, which must be a measure of the confidence and trust that those clients place in me.

On a personal note, I’m happily married with kids who have long since flown the coop, and I’m passionate about Collingwood and all things AFL.

DIANNE TUCKER
My youth was spent in the family caravan park in Burleigh Heads, so you could say I am a local. I joined the Australian Army when girls served in the W.R.A.A.C (Women’s Royal Australian Army Corp), which was a long time ago. I served for 16 years reaching the rank of Sergeant before retiring from the Army. I have worked in Administration roles from within the Australian Army to; Team Leader for Business Coaches; to Registrar for Language Colleges; to PA for a Senior Pastor and University Professors; to Manager for Accountancy practice, so I bring years of experience. I remarried my first husband after a 31 year break….he is now the most important man in my life. We have a 40 year old son who is a Bricklayer and a 29 year old daughter who is an Architect. I enjoy Stand up Paddle boarding which I discovered over 12 years ago. I strive to achieve something each and every day!

LUCINDA O'KEEFFE
In 2017, A Counting House was my introduction to the work force and since, I've progressed to working on the team as the Administration Assistant. As an 'office all-rounder' it is my responsibility to ensure things run smoothly by taking on whatever tasks and challenges that I've been assigned - adaptability is the key.

I always delight in being able to meet our clients and taking a share in making their experience with us the best it can be.

Outside the office, my hobbies include traditional sketching, watercolour painting, equestrian, cooking and reading classic literature.
