Baker Affleck Chartered Accountants

Hi [fname].

 

 Baker Affleck has been in the Surfers Paradise region since its beginnings in 1957. Established by Knox Richardson over 50 years ago, the original business was located in Cavill Mall and traded as E K Richardson & Co.

Surfers Paradise has symbolised the aspirations of the people who have come here to holiday or to live, a “paradise for surfers’ is the ultimate playground that has been through a century of changes.

While Baker Affleck is proud of it's history and loves being a block away from Australia’s most beautiful stretch of sand, we have decided to move to a new location in Bundall.
