For more than 20 years the LDB graduate program has developed well-rounded Chartered Accountants through our commitment to professional development.

Our client service comes first and we proactively engage with them at the LDB office, at the clients’ premises, and digitally via technology. To meet the ever-changing needs of our clients and modern technology, we have embraced cloud accounting and a paperless workplace.

Located a 3-minute walk from Blackburn train station and just a 20-minute drive from the CBD, our modern offices accommodate more than 70 staff. As a large multi-disciplined firm with a specialised focus on accounting and advisory, superannuation, audit, wealth solutions and property, we pride ourselves on our culture and work hard to maintain it.

From providing a free daily lunch to a firm-wide income protection insurance policy, to our monthly charity initiative on casual clothes day, and team activities or birthday celebrations, we recognise that if you are going to spend half your waking hours with your work family then it should be an enjoyable experience.

Access training and professional development

To enrich your professional development, we have structured our graduate program to ensure you gain a deeper understanding of LDB’s entire business. With the assistance of your graduate mentor, we will organise secondments to give you the opportunity to work across all areas of our firm.

Our designated Chartered Accountant coordinator will also assist you as you undertake the program, helping you enroll in each subject and coordinate the paid study leave and financial support we offer as we sponsor you through the program.

My wife and I have been retired for over 25 years. LDB have managed our modest Super fund for all of those years. Bruce and his staff have been wonderful with their advice and professional expertise in tax and Centrelink matters. We highly recommend this company.

LDB Property Pty Ltd lacks any accountability or competent management. After being told by one of their employees that we wouldn’t be charged a late fee (despite paying 6 months of owner’s corporation fees upfront) , they charged us a late fee and then denied they ever said it. I tried to contact their management but they wouldn’t return calls including the managing director Owen Day. This is a weak organisation with zero accountability and they are unable to even communicate with people. If you want a property services firm that does what they say with competent management- look elsewhere.

LDB Property provide a professional and high standard service. We have been a client for over 15 years and cannot fault any part of their Owner Corp and landlord services. Owen Day’s knowledge is extensive and reliable.

I've been using LDB for over five years now-They take care of my personal tax needs and those of my electrical contracting company. Their suggestions and guidance have helped me to grow the business from strength to strength. Couldn't be happier with my choice of accountancy firm. I've also found LDB staff to be a pleasure to deal with

Our boutique apartment complex have utilised the services of LDB since settlement some 7 years ago. As a group we are very happy with the service provided. As an owner occupier I have found the staff and I. particular Kaye to be prompt, friendly and efficient when responding. I’m pleased that we have a property management team that we feel we can trust and rely upon to do a good job. Thanks.
