In September 2025, a registered tax agent and solicitor from Richmond, NSW, was banned from providing financial services for 10 years. The ban prohibits him from offering financial advice or controlling any entity involved in financial services.

This accountant was found to have provided unlicensed financial product advice. He allegedly set up deeds of arrangement between clients and companies under his control and encouraged accounting clients to invest in those same businesses - these are clear breaches of professional and legal standards.

It's deeply concerning when a trusted accountant exploits their position for personal gain. Incidents like these highlight the importance of choosing ethical, qualified professionals.
