Meet Peter McCarthy

Principal

Peter McCarthy founded Precision in 2014 after working in the accounting profession for 15 years. 

He decided to pursue a career in accounting after working in family accounting firms during school holidays and witnessed first-hand the impact good financial advice could have on people’s lives and their businesses. 

Starting his career in private practice came naturally to Peter. He chose to work in a small firm, an environment that challenged him and allowed him to make meaningful contributions to a wide array of clients on a personal level.

Peter endorses a straightforward, no-nonsense communication style. He values honesty and clarity in his interactions and believes in a direct approach to dealing with clients that is as refreshing as it is rare. 

He possesses a keen technological acumen and is focused on leveraging cloud technologies to enhance client businesses, ensuring they not only survive but thrive in the digital age.

His professional memberships with CPA Australia and the National Tax and Accountants Association provide him with solid backing from the accounting industry. As a registered Tax Agent with the Tax Practitioners Board, he is a specialised professional qualified to manage his client’s journey through the complicated taxation landscape.

Peter is not just another accountant or Registered Tax Agent; he is also a small business owner and can relate to the rollercoaster of operating a business.

For Peter, the most rewarding aspect of his profession is the opportunity to make a tangible difference. He understands that there are real people looking to grow their businesses, save on taxes, or protect their assets behind every financial statement or report. 

He advocates minimising the gender pay gap in the accounting industry, advancing financial literacy issues, and supporting the wider community.
