About Us

Would you like to grow your wealth, minimise your tax and protect your assets?

International Professional Services (IPS) is a chartered accounting firm based on the Gold Coast, Queensland that provides accounting & taxation, superannuation, financial planning, insurance and audit services.

Our goal is to provide the best wealth, protection and taxation solutions in one location for individuals, small to medium businesses and retirees.

Over the years IPS has recognised a need for a comprehensive approach to business and life planning. For accountants to offer the best client solutions they need to obtain an overall picture of the client's financial affairs and goals. The directors of IPS identified this and in turn the IPS group of entities was born – Chartered Accountants, Financial Services, Superannuation & Audit. Our family of companies allows us to offer a holistic approach to helping achieve our clients' personal and business goals.

Our Story

International Professional Services was founded by John Illingworth, who started the business from his home in Mudgeeraba in 1993 and within a year moved to the offices of Australia Fair, Southport. Since then the business has grown from himself and one other accountant to over 30 specialised multi skilled staff with dedicated teams of Auditors, Financial Planners and Superannuation Specialist AdvisorsTM. In recent years John has been joined by co-directors Craig Tschirpig, David Sidhu, Cameron Reed (IPS Superannuation) and Roger Stannard (IPS Financial Services).

Over the years IPS has recognised a need for a comprehensive approach to business and life planning. For accountants to offer the best client solutions they need to obtain an overall picture of the client's financial affairs and goals. Most clients engage a number of different firms to manage their various affairs i.e. financial planner, superannuation adviser, accountant, bookkeeper etc. At times this can create issues especially regarding structuring and client strategies, as not all advisers are equal in their knowledge or experience. It is very important to have open communication between all advisers. The directors of IPS identified this and in turn the IPS group of entities was born. IPS Group includes; International Professional Services Chartered Accountants, IPS Audit, IPS Superannuation, IPS Financial Services. Our family of companies allows us to offer a holistic approach to helping achieve our clients' personal and business goals.
