Our Team

Peter Janz

Peter is the principal of our firm and holds the CPA public practice certificate. Having studied accounting every year in high school, he commenced an accounting traineeship with a firm in Mackay as soon as his schooling was completed. The traineeship involved working full-time as well as studying part-time for two years in order to obtain his professional qualifications. He then finalised his accounting degree with two years full-time at University in Rockhampton.

Upon completion of his bachelor studies he was fortunate to obtain a position with a local firm in Kingaroy and then moved to Griffin Jones in 1995 where he commenced as the branch manager and subsequently purchased the local practice in 2002.
