Practical advice for Tasmanian businesses. Specialist agricultural advisory and a full range of accounting, tax and business support services.
About Our Launceston Office
Helping you thrive in Launceston
Moore Australia’s Launceston office provides accounting, tax, bookkeeping and business advisory services to organisations across Tasmania. Our team works with businesses of all sizes and across a wide range of sectors, with a particular depth of experience in agriculture and agribusiness.
We are part of the Moore Australia (VIC/TAS) member firm, with additional offices in Melbourne and Geelong. This gives our Launceston clients access to broader specialist capabilities when they need them, while keeping their day-to-day relationship with a local team that understands the Tasmanian market.
Our approach is straightforward. We aim to simplify, not complicate. Where other firms may add layers of structure, we look for ways to streamline entities, reduce unnecessary cost and give business owners a clearer view of where they stand. We earn our clients’ trust by being available, responsive and honest about what will genuinely help their business.
How we work with our clients
When you contact us, you will speak directly with a member of our team. We aim to respond to calls and emails within the same working day. If a question sits outside our immediate expertise, we will tell you honestly and bring in the right person from within the firm.
We work with privately owned businesses of all sizes, farming families and agricultural enterprises, not-for-profit organisations, contractors and trade businesses, and high-net-worth individuals with complex structures. Across all of these, our focus is on acting in the client’s best interest, keeping things clear and practical, and helping you make informed decisions about your business and your future.
How we work with our clients
We build long-term relationships with our clients. The Launceston team is small enough that you will always know who you are working with, and large enough to cover the full range of services most businesses need.

Services we deliver
Our Launceston team delivers the core accounting, tax, advisory and agricultural consulting services that most of our clients need on a day-to-day basis. When a client’s situation calls for specialist capability beyond that scope, we draw on the broader Moore Australia (VIC/TAS) firm and, where needed, the Moore Global network, which operates across more than 100 countries.
This means our clients are never limited by the size of the local office. Whether you need financial planning advice, a business valuation, audit support or guidance on sustainability reporting, we can bring the right specialist into the conversation while your relationship stays with the people you know and trust in Launceston.
Succession planning for family businesses
Succession planning for family businesses
Succession is one of the most significant decisions a business owner will face, and it is rarely simple. In our experience, the financial, structural and personal dimensions of a succession plan are deeply intertwined, particularly in farming families where the business, the land and the family’s future are all connected.
Our Tasmania team are market leaders in succession planning and has guided numerous family businesses through the succession process, from early-stage conversations about timing and readiness through to the restructuring of entities, the transfer of ownership and the financial arrangements that support both the outgoing and incoming generations. We work at the pace the family needs, recognising that these decisions take time and that trust between all parties is essential.
What sets our approach apart is that we see succession as a whole-of-business question, not a purely tax or legal exercise. We consider the operational readiness of the next generation, the financial position of the business, the personal goals of the current owners and the structures needed to make the transition as clean and cost-effective as possible. Where structures have become unnecessarily complex over time, we look for opportunities to simplify before the transition takes place.
Succession planning is relevant well beyond agriculture. We support business owners across all sectors who are preparing to step back, transition to the next generation or plan an exit. If you are starting to think about what comes next for your business, we are happy to have an early conversation with no obligation.
Specialist agricultural advisory
This means we understand the full picture of an agricultural business, from seasonal cash flow and capital expenditure planning through to succession, business restructuring and long-term strategic direction. We work closely with farming families, often across generations, supporting the current operators while helping the next generation prepare to take the lead.
Our agricultural advisory covers strategic planning, benchmarking, management reporting, farm business consulting and software conversion. It sits alongside our core accounting and tax compliance services, so clients receive integrated advice rather than working with multiple disconnected providers.
Specialist agricultural advisory
Whilst we have extensive experience across all sectors and industries, we look after a large number of clients in the agricultural sector. Our team includes specialist consultants who work on-farm alongside the accounting and compliance work.
Industries and Sectors
Industries and sectors we work with
While agriculture is our core specialism, our client base extends across a broad range of industries. In Launceston and across Tasmania, we work with businesses in agriculture and agribusiness (including dairy, cropping, livestock and mixed farming), agricultural contracting and supply, retail, professional services, hospitality and tourism, food services, not-for-profit organisations, and trade and construction.
