The transaction also provides existing Freedom Accounting clients access to financial advice services through Mogg Osborne.

Mogg Osborne, which provides accounting and financial advice services including SMSF services, has a strong presence in regional towns close to the Victorian and NSW border, with offices in Cobram and Finley.

The acquisition of Freedom Accounting expands Mogg Osborne’s footprint in the region and provides greater access to quality financial services for people in one of Australia’s biggest regional centres.

Mogg Osborne chief executive Sharon Postlethwaite said the acquisition of Freedom Accounting would be a boost for people in the community.

“Freedom Accounting is a quality practice with similar core values and a consistent approach to client service as Mogg Osborne,” Ms Postlethwaite said.

“Their retiring principal, Marian Adams, will remain with us to assist with the smooth client transition, and we expect this acquisition to add significant value and future strong relationships to Freedom Accounting’s clients.”
