PEARCE & HEERS
INSOLVENCY ACCOUNTANTS
Pearce & Heers Insolvency Accountants was established in March 2002 as an independent
specialist insolvency accounting practice. Our experienced team of professionals operates from
offices in Brisbane and the Gold Coast and includes Registered and Official Liquidators, Registered
Bankruptcy Trustees and qualified accountants.
We offer a complete range of insolvency, business reconstruction and related services including
administering formal insolvency appointments and providing advice and assistance regarding
insolvency matters to individuals with financial difficulties, company directors, creditors, financiers,
accountants and solicitors.
Pearce & Heers undertakes insolvency appointments throughout Queensland and interstate. Where
work is required to be undertaken in distant locations we commonly engage fellow members of the
Australian Restructuring Insolvency & Turnaround Association (ARITA) or other qualified
accountants who are situated locally to perform work under our direction and supervision.
The challenges created by the current financial climate mean that cashflow difficulties and business
failure are prevalent concerns for many companies and individuals. Early recognition of the warning
signs of insolvency and acting quickly is the key to maximising the options available to address
financial difficulties and provide the best possible outcomes for all involved.
If you or your clients are experiencing financial difficulties, we invite you to contact us for an
obligation free discussion or meeting.
