Meet The Directors
Darren first commenced work with GFM Accountants in 1993 – yes that’s 26 years ago. He started work whilst still studying at University when the firm consisted of 3 employees in total. Darren’s passion from the outset was to make sure his clients achieved a successful outcome for the amount of effort, long hours and sleepless night they endure. He became a Partner in August 2000 at the age of 28 just as GST was launched in Australia. He loves to work with business owners to strive to achieve more. If you didn’t already know Darren loves the Western Bulldogs and all sport in general. Darren has coached local football at Strathmore Football Club for the last 10 years. He also follows his 3 children around on weekends watching and supporting whatever their chosen event is.
