DUNCAN PERKINS

Principal Accountant & Tax Agent

Duncan Perkins is the Principal Accountant and Tax Agent at Tax Time Accountants, bringing over 40 years of experience in the financial services industry. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning, and is also a Commissioner for Declarations.

Duncan became part of the Tax Time Accountants story in 2009, when he purchased the business from the Messer family, who had founded it in 1992. Since then, he has continued to grow and evolve the firm, offering expert guidance in taxation, accounting, lending, and financial planning.

His career began at Westpac, where he worked for over 16 years (1984–2000). He then launched Home Loan Essentials, a lending and finance business he still operates today. From 2009 to 2016, Duncan also worked as a licensed financial planner, but his true passion has always been in the accounting and taxation space, where he has focused since 2008/09.

Duncan is a regular guest on podcasts and radio, known for his approachable style and deep knowledge. He’s passionate about helping clients improve their financial wellbeing through what he calls FITTER—a holistic framework that covers all aspects of financial health.

“There’s nothing in FITTER I can’t help you with—and if I don’t have the answer, I have a team of professionals I can call on to get you the right advice.”

Let this website serve as both a warning and a disclaimer: Duncan loves a chat. His passion for helping people means he can’t help but dive deep into your situation to find the best possible outcome. One day, he plans to write a book titled “Getting FITTER Financially” and launch his own podcast—but that might have to wait until he stops putting so much time into his clients, his team, and his family.
