Our Story
How We Began
JD Scott + Co was founded from a desire to make accounting better. James Scott grew up in Melbourne and started his career helping small + medium businesses with their tax and accounting.
After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, he moved to Sydney and worked in various accounting advisory roles, including with BDO and EY. In 2013, deciding he wanted a new challenge, he moved to QBE Insurance, where he held a number of senior group finance roles in financial reporting and treasury.
After leaving QBE, James saw an opportunity to bring high-quality accounting and tax advice to the SME market. He had a vision for a modern firm which focused, above all, on a high-quality output of work with impeccable accuracy. The firm would focus on offering professional accounting services and a high calibre of work to small to mid-sized companies.
In 2020, James launched JD Scott + Co Chartered Accountants. His overarching mission was to help small and medium businesses solve their accounting and tax problems.
From day one, JD Scott + Co was designed to be agile and responsive to client needs and able to tailor its services to meet their requirements.
