About us
Providing financial planning and accounting services to the Albury Wodonga and surrounding community since 1975
History
Founded in 1975, our vision was to put our clients first, understand their goals, and to be proactive and innovative with our advice. Our business accounting, taxation and financial planning services are designed to suit our business clients and their families.
Today this vision still holds true. The knowledge and experience our team have developed ensures we are well placed to enable our clients to achieve their goals.
ConnectIVITY
Our clients have us at their fingertips to discuss any issues as they arise. We understand our clients’ objectives which allows us to proactively anticipate their needs, giving them complete peace of mind.
compassion
Our most important role is to listen. We ask a lot of questions to understand our client circumstances, their goals and challenges. This allows us to navigate them through tough times and provide vital support.
Confidence
We strive to ensure our clients have control over their finances so they can make decisions with confidence. With careful planning we provide options that move them closer to achieving their goals.
Creativity
Every client is different. We have a diverse team with specialist skills and abilities. We collaborate to get the best outcome for each client and deliver innovative solutions tailored to their unique circumstances.

Stephen Mamouney
Why I started
I have a deep sense of community and enjoy helping others to achieve their goals. I became a Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner to be able to provide financial and business expertise for the benefit of our clients.
Why I keep going
I continue to gain a great deal of satisfaction in working with the team and sharing our knowledge and experiences with our clients.
Glen Jarvis
Why I started
I’ve always found personal financial management extremely interesting. As soon as I discovered that you could have a career assisting people with their finances so that they can focus on what’s important to them and maximise the quality of their life, I knew it was what I wanted to do.
Why I keep going
I still find my work incredibly rewarding. Each family we work with has unique circumstances, and the personal financial planning environment is forever changing. This means there is always a new challenge and an opportunity to achieve better results for our clients.
Our Values
Some rules are meant to be broken…But we never break these around here
Fairness
We maintain a healthy balance of give and take - always being considerate, real and engaged, and acting consciously in all decisions we make. We show respect for our own and others’ time and take responsibility for our behaviours.
Results Driven
We understand the outcome our client wants. We focus on business outcomes and do it with a sense of urgency – ensuring we are utilising our time in the most effective and efficient way.
What's Next
We continuously seek out opportunities, potential and risks to ensure we are adding value in everything we do. We are open to new ideas and change, engage in and share learning with each other and with our clients.
Community
At BMG we have a proud history of supporting many important local community projects and charities, including:
Ice Mile Challenge – In June 2022 Stephen Mamouney successfully completed an Ice Mile Challenge. This involved a 1.6km swim in water that was a chilly 3.8 degrees Celsius at Lake Crackenback, wearing only a swimming costume, goggles and cap – which he did in 36 minutes. The aim of the challenge was to provide an opportunity to continue the conversation about mental health and raise much-needed funds for two important mental health organisations – Survivors of Suicide and Friends (SOSAF) and Australians for Mental Health (AfMH). Stephen raised over $20,000 and his brave journey was captured by Supergoat Media and you can watch it here .
