The partnership of Brian Paul was formed in 1997 through the amalgamation of the individual practices of Brian O’Leary and Paul Phillips, who had each been operating independently since 1992 and 1995 respectively. The firm has historically served a diverse client base, consisting primarily of family-owned businesses, professional partnerships, and individual personal tax clients.
Since its formation, the practice has experienced significant growth, both in scale and in the range of services offered, in order to meet the evolving needs of its clients. This growth has been driven by the firm’s commitment to professional expertise, personalised service, and long-standing client relationships.
In May 2024, the practice transitioned under the leadership of former client managers who were already familiar with the firm’s history, culture, and standards of service. This transition has further enhanced the firm’s capacity to support clients effectively, ensuring continuity while also strengthening the practice’s strategic and operational capabilities. The new leadership remains committed to maintaining the firm’s values, while continuing to expand and improve the services offered to clients.
