Jim Byrne -
Principal

With over 40 years of experience as a Chartered Accountant, I live and breathe Accounting. I am very passionate about our firm and our services to you and I am very proud of how far Byrne Partners has come over the years. After our modest beginnings in Sawtell, we quickly developed into a very successful business that now has branches in North Sydney and the Northern Beaches. I enjoy spending time with my family and am a busy grandfather of five children. In winter you can find me skiing and in summer I enjoy my garden.

I have enjoyed working in Business Services and Private Wealth Tax Management for 18 years now. I love working side by side with a wide variety of amazing people and enjoy the challenge that comes with each individual client and their specific needs. Jim has always been a role model for me and together we aim to provide an outstanding level of service and build a relationship that exceeds customers expectations. In my private life I enjoy being with my family and friends and you can find me running after my two little boys on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

I have been a consultant for over 40 years, starting my career with Peat Marwick Mitchell (now KPMG). In 2014, I founded Duly and Associated to help SMEs, professionals, high to medium net worth individuals and SMSFs manage their financial affairs across tax consulting, business advice, accounting, tax compliance, business valuations, estate planning and SMSFs. I have a passion for working closely with clients to provide tailored financial solutions that make a difference in their lives.

Outside of work, my wife Helen and I have adult twins, Alec and Rosemary. In my spare time, you’ll find me playing golf, snow skiing, scuba diving, or cheering on the Manly Marlins rugby side.

Tax Accountant

I grew up in the UK and studied accounting at university before relocating to Australia in 2010. After some travelling, I found my passion in tax and accounting and have been focused on helping clients with their financial needs ever since. I joined the Byrne Partners team in 2022, and I love working with clients to handle their tax and accounting so they can concentrate on growing their businesses.

In my spare time, I enjoy staying active with my two daughters and our dog, spending time at the beach, and sharing good food with friends.
