About Us
BMT is managed by three directors namely Brendan Farrugia, Tom Plenty and Bradley Beer, providing an Australia wide service. BMT has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle, Adelaide, Perth, Gold Coast, Cairns and Canberra.
BMT commenced business in 1997 with offices in Sydney and Newcastle. The demand from investors in Victoria and Queensland lead to the opening of offices in each capital city. In recent years the amount of return clients investing in property throughout Australia has lead to further offices opening in Adelaide, Canberra and Perth. In recent times, explosive growth in the Queensland property market has seen BMT open two additional offices – in Cairns and Southport.
Staff numbers have grown accordingly, with over 90 full time staff now employed throughout Australia. BMT believe the repeat business from property investors, real estate agents, accountants and the like is testament to the product and service delivered. After more than 12 years in the industry, BMT have exceeded all expectations of growth, customer service and reporting standards.
We believe our dramatic growth is the best demonstration of our commitment to our clients and alliances, as we have grown based on repeat business and a solid referral base. No mergers, acquisitions or franchising of the business have helped ensure that the commitment to our clients and referrals has remained our primary focus.
In 2008, BMT & ASSOC divided into 2 entities – BMT & ASSOC and BMT Tax Depreciation. This was done so that BMT could better service our clients' needs on both sides of the business.
In 2010 the growing need for depreciation specialists saw BMT Tax Depreciation open new offices in Darwin and Hobart. The result of this was BMT can now offer services to every Australian state and territory and ensuring every Australian investor can maximise their deductions.
