An independent Chartered Accounting practice that has been part of Byron Bay since 1985.
Thomas Noble & Russell in Byron Bay is an independent accounting practice. We’ve been in Byron Bay since 1985, which is over forty years of looking after local people and businesses. Locals often know us simply as TNR Byron.
Thomas Noble & Russell in Lismore is a separate, independently owned practice. If you’re looking for the Lismore office, you’ll need to contact them directly. If you’re after the Byron Bay team, you’re in the right place.
When you call us, the people who know your affairs are the ones doing the work, and a partner reviews it.
Our partners are Craig Page, a partner since 1995, and Brad Tom, a partner since 2000. Between them they’ve spent decades working with the same clients, and in many cases with those clients’ families and businesses as they’ve grown.
We’re Chartered Accountants and a registered tax agent (number 72987007).
Good advice comes from good people who know their clients. We look after our team, and that shows in the work they do for you.
We do things the same careful way each time, so nothing important gets missed and you know what to expect from us year to year.
Our job is to help you pay the right amount of tax and no more, and to spot problems early. We’d rather have a conversation now than fix a problem later.
Many clients have been with us for years. When something changes, like a new business, a property sale or retirement, they call early and we help them think it through before it happens.
Sole traders, contractors and professionals who want their tax handled properly and someone to ask when things change.
Family businesses and investment structures that need sound accounts, compliance and advice on how they’re set up.
Trustees and retirees who want their fund compliant and their income and tax arranged sensibly.
Property developers and investors, and IT and AI consultants, each with their own tax questions.
Thomas Noble & Russell has been part of Byron Bay since 1985. The town has changed a lot in that time, and so have the people and businesses we work with. What hasn’t changed is the way we look after them: steady, careful work and clients who can reach the people handling their affairs.
