Our Services

Our firm offers the full complement of public practice services expected of a Chartered Accountancy firm. Our services are structured toward high net worth and aspirational individuals, family groups, and privately owned businesses. In addition to normal public practice services we are uniquely positioned to provide private office services for the assistance of high net worth individuals and families.

Chancellors is advantaged by many years of collective experience, superior technical resources and a network of quality specialist service providers. 

In conjunction with our network of leading specialists we assist clients with all financial aspects, including compliance, financial structure, performance, governance, tax efficiency, and succession and estate planning within business and family groups.

In addition to more traditional areas of practice we provide a number of clients very direct assistance with the administration of their financial affairs. This is what we refer to as ‘private office’. This includes day to day management of financial affairs, and or more strategic assistance along the lines of a ‘family office’.

We have the capacity and expertise to offer additional services which can be discussed as the need and circumstance arises.

We offer an initial consultation which is obligation free. This is a good opportunity to gain a fresh perspective on your current situation, and to ensure a good professional 'fit' with our firm and its people. 

Our History 

Chancellors Chartered Accountants was founded by Willis T Chancellor in 1934. We have continued to provide accountancy, taxation, audit, secretarial and specialised consultancy services to our valued clients since that time. We have acted for clients throughout Queensland, Australia and offshore and boast client groups that span three generations. Our client base consists of small businesses, professionals and high net worth individuals and family groups.

Three Generations

For over 85 years of practice the firm and its corporate identity has been controlled by three generations of the Chancellor family. More recently the firm was re-structured offering equity participation by key professional and managerial staff. This has ensured continuation of a very high level of client service against the trend of high rates of staff and client turnover in the industry.
