About Wiseman
A focused Ipswich firm, built for the long term.
We help growth-minded family businesses minimise tax, protect their assets and structure for long-term success, so the business supports the life they want to build.
We’re an Ipswich accounting and advisory firm built around established, family-owned businesses in construction, professional services and property across South East Queensland.
Accurate compliance, lodged on time, is the baseline we work from. The value is in what comes next: the structuring, the tax planning and the decisions the numbers point to. Every client has an experienced client manager who knows the business and stays the same year to year.
Business groups we act for across South East Queensland.
Our story
Ten years in business, one clear focus.
Wiseman Accountants was founded in 2015 by Michael Wiseman, an accountant since 2005. Michael saw that established family businesses were being treated the same way as one-off individual tax clients, and set out to build a firm around ongoing, proactive advice instead.
Since then, we’ve grown to a team of 13 and kept the same personal approach. Every client works directly with the people who know their business.
Today we work with 450+ business groups across South East Queensland, with real depth in construction, professional services and real estate.

What we do
Five services, one clear focus
Compliance done properly is the foundation. Advisory-led relationships built for the long term are the point.
Why Wiseman
Deliberately focused on you
Rather than serving every kind of business, we’ve built our practice around growth-minded, family-owned businesses. Here’s what that means in practice.
Built for family business
We focus on established, family-owned businesses turning over $1M or more, with real depth in construction, professional services and real estate.
A dedicated client manager
Your advice comes from an experienced client manager who knows your business.
Independent & conflict-free
We don’t sell financial products, lending or property. Nothing we recommend is shaped by what we have to sell.
Proactive all year
Regular advisory meetings and Xero-based KPI monitoring, so we help you plan ahead rather than only reporting on the year that’s already gone.
Value, not price
We compete on the quality of advice and the results it drives, a long-term partnership, not the cheapest return in town.
Genuinely local
An Ipswich firm that understands South East Queensland business, growing alongside the owners we work with.
A two-minute check
Are we the right fit for each other?
Indicative only. General information, not financial or tax advice.
Our team
You deal with an experienced client manager who knows your business.
A dedicated team of 13 ready to support you, with an experienced client manager who knows your business by name and stays with you year to year.
Led by our founder Michael Wiseman (IPA) and director Kris Dieckmann (CPA), our team brings decades of practical experience across accounting, tax, SMSF and advisory.
How we work
Getting started is straightforward
Four steps from first conversation to ongoing partnership.
Discovery call
A relaxed, no-obligation call with one of our experienced team, to understand your business and your goals.
You speak with one of our experienced team in a 20–30 minute conversation about your business, your challenges and what you’re trying to build. We listen first, ask the right questions, and give you a clear picture of whether we’re the right fit before you commit to anything.
We review
We look properly at your current returns, entity structure and tax position to find where we can add the most value.
After the call, we take a proper look at your current returns, entity structure and tax position. We’re looking for missed deductions, structuring opportunities and compliance risks — things your previous accountant may not have had the time to find.
We build your plan
A practical roadmap covering compliance, tax strategy and growth priorities, specific to your business.
You receive a clear, practical plan: what compliance needs to happen, what tax planning we’d recommend and where advisory focus will sit. Specific to your business, not a template. You’ll know exactly what working together looks like before you sign anything.
Ongoing support
Proactive advice, regular meetings and direct access to your client manager all year, not just at tax time.
The relationship is structured around your business cycle: regular advisory meetings, KPI monitoring, proactive planning before key dates, and direct access to your client manager by phone and email. We’re here when it matters, not just at tax time.

Industries
Specialist knowledge of your industry
We work across a range of established, family-owned businesses and bring practical experience of the issues specific to each sector.
Do you provide financial or investment advice?
No. Wiseman Accountants does not hold an AFSL and does not provide financial product or investment advice. Our work is accounting, tax, structuring and SMSF administration. Where you need licensed financial advice, we can refer you to trusted advisers from our close professional network, or work alongside the adviser you already have, so everything stays aligned.
What size businesses do you work with?
We do our best work with established, family-owned businesses turning over $1M or more, usually with employees. Our clients value quality advice and a long-term relationship over the lowest-cost option.
How does pricing work?
You know what you’re paying before the work starts, with scope agreed upfront and no surprise bills. We compete on the value of the advice and the relationship, not on being the cheapest option.
Do we have to use Xero?
We run on Xero so both you and we are always working from current, accurate numbers. If you’re not on Xero yet, we can set it up and train your team as part of getting started.
Do you work with businesses outside Ipswich?
Yes. Our office is in Newtown, Ipswich, and we love meeting clients in person, but working on Xero means distance is never a barrier. We work closely with business owners across Springfield, Brisbane West, Toowoomba, Logan and well beyond.
How do we get started?
Book a discovery call. It’s a no-obligation conversation about your business and what you’re trying to achieve, so we can both work out whether we’re the right fit.
