Our Story

Based in Queensland, we’re one of the states largest and most dynamic business advisory, chartered accounting and wealth management practices. Our purpose has always been to help small to medium-sized businesses and success-driven individuals achieve financial success. From offices in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Fraser Coast and Gladstone, we provide our clients with practical, sound, profit-driven advice aimed at improving their financial outcomes.

A growing number of Queenslanders and Queensland businesses, consider us their preferred provider of professional services. It’s also why so many businesses trust us with their transactions, and invite us to work alongside them as their strategic business partner.

Where it all began…

We were founded in Bundaberg in 1926 by Mr Bill Schoch. Bill was a savvy businessman who starting out selling and servicing adding machines. Before long, Bill was managing local business owner’s books and became the local bookkeeper. Later, when Bill’s son joined the business, we were renamed Schoch & Schoch, followed by Schoch, Schoch & Hancock after Ron Hancock was brought on as partner.

In 1966, Ron Hancock co-established Wide Bay Capricorn Building Society (today it’s known as Auswide Bank), one of Queensland’s largest building societies at the time and forging a close working relationship between the society and our firm.

Peter Sawyer joined our firm in 1974 and was made a partner in 1977. In 1990, our firm’s name changed to Hancock, Sawyer & Partners.

In 1996, Peter Sawyer and Daryl Corpe bought Ron Hancock’s share in the firm, later renaming it Hancock Sawyer Corpe.

In September 2000 the firm’s name changed to Ulton, a name derived from the blending of ‘Ultimate’ (meaning the highest or most significant) and ‘onward’ (meaning advancement with continued movement or action). Our new name reflects our efforts to actively achieve the best outcomes for our clients.
