HISTORY

JPR Business Group is a collaboration of professional firms with a proven track record in the accounting profession

The accounting firm Varcoes was established in 1988 with Tony Jolley as a senior accountant and later became the sole proprietor. In 1996 Tony Polzella joined the practice as a senior accountant and became a partner in 2003.

In 2003 Geoff Cox merged his family’s ninety year old practice, Mortimer Cox & Associates, with Varcoes. Geoff is a fourth generation practising accountant in Victoria. In 1886 his great-grandfather was a foundation member of the Incorporated Institute of Accountants Victoria which later became CPA Australia.

Jonathan Sear commenced in practice in 1983 and in 2000 Carol Marsh joined him to form Sear & Marsh. In 2010 the two practices merged and Jolley Polzella Sear and Marsh was established.

In 2014 Darren Ricardo, with 30 years’ experience as a CPA merged his clients to form JPR Business Group, operating from new premises located at 357 Camberwell Rd, Camberwell.

The most recent merger occurred in October 2015 as Scott Burchfield of CBS Accountants with over 15 years’ experience in his own practice merged with JPR Business Group, a seamless transition of two practices that operate with the same values and standards.
