Our story

Serving accountantsand lawyers since 1976

CoSec Partners is a family-owned firm that sets up and looks after companies, trusts and self-managed super funds for accounting firms, law firms and businesses across Australia.

The firm was founded in Adelaide in 1976 and is now in its second generation, with a team in Adelaide and Sydney. Together with its predecessor firms, it has completed more than 200,000 company and trust formations.

Many of the firms it acts for have been clients for decades. They deal with the same small team year after year, and every lodgement is checked by two people before it goes to ASIC.

Our sister firm, ABN Australia, helps foreign companies operating in Australia. How the two firms relate

Our team works across Adelaide and Sydney

We’re a small team, and every file has a named person on it. When someone is on leave the work passes to a colleague who already knows the file.

Our firm has dealt with CoSec Partners for some 20 years. A most professional, efficient and prompt company to deal with. Nothing is ever to difficult to deal with.

Quick and easy to order online
Quick and easy to order online. Uncomplicated and as accountants, our clients appreciate the quick service. The company I work for was using another service but the minute I started working for them I changed to CoSec Partners as I had used this company for over 25 years in another job as they are the best.
