Deanne Thomas & Co and MJC Partners Join Forces
Delivering Greater Capability, Same Personalised Service
Dear Valued Client,
We are delighted to share some exciting news regarding the future of our practice.
Following a carefully considered succession planning process, we are pleased to announce that Deanne Thomas & Co will merge with MJC Partners, an award-winning, values-aligned accounting and advisory firm based in Melbourne and Dandenong.
This transition represents the next chapter in our firm’s journey — one that strengthens our ability to serve you while retaining the personal care and trusted relationships you have always experienced with our team.
Why This Change, and Why MJC Partners?
For many years, we have had the privilege of working alongside you — helping you manage your tax, structure your business affairs. As part of our long-term planning, we knew that we would one day need a trusted partner to continue this service into the future.
After an extensive market search, MJC Partners stood out immediately. With over 40 years of experience, a team of 50+ professionals, and a shared commitment to personalised service, their values and culture mirror our own. Like us, they believe in long-term relationships, not transactional services.
MJC Partners are:
- Australian Financial Review Top 100 Firm
- SMSF Firm of the Year – Australian Accounting Awards 2024
- Experts in tax, SMSF, business advisory, structuring, finance solutions and more
- Supporters of diverse client industries, including medical, agriculture, property, manufacturing, and professional services
Their team will bring fresh capability to our existing offerings without disrupting the way we work with you.
What Stays the Same?
Nearly everything. You will still:
- Work with the same team you know and trust — our staff are continuing in their roles.
- Engage with Deanne who will take on a consulting role.
- Receive the same personal attention and care that has been central to how we operate.
MJC Partners deeply value our people and culture and are committed to preserving everything that makes Deanne Thomas & Co unique.
What’s New and Better?
You now have access to:
- A broader, deeper range of services — including in-house finance broking, business coaching, and financial planning.
- A larger professional network with specialist teams to support more complex needs as they arise.
- Offices in Dandenong and Melbourne in addition to our current location.
And most importantly, you have a future-proofed relationship — backed by a multi-partner firm with a long-term vision and capable advisors.
What Happens Next?
There is nothing you need to do right now. We will be reaching out in the coming weeks to introduce you to some of the MJC Partners team and ensure you feel as supported as ever, in the meantime we attach a welcome letter from Chris Simmons. Managing Partner at MJC Partners.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email. Transparency and open communication will continue to be the foundation of our relationship.
Final Thoughts
This decision was made to ensure our practice — and your service — is well supported for decades to come. With MJC Partners by our side, we are stronger, better resourced, and more capable, yet still proudly the same at heart.
Thank you for your ongoing trust and support. We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing to work with you — now with even more to offer.
Kind Regards
Deanne Thomas & Co
