Lucas Helmke
CEO and Founder of Evergent. CFO, Chartered Accountant specialising in business growth and optimisation.
If you're an accountant working 60+ hours a week, chasing the next promotion, or thinking about starting your own firm…
I get it. I’ve been there.
You do everything right. Study hard. Land the Big 4 or a leadership role. Put in the long hours. But the ladder never ends and the freedom never arrives.
You earn a living, but the ceiling is fixed.
Try to start your own practice? It’s even harder. No systems. No clients. No roadmap. And worst of all, you’re stuck doing compliance work, competing on price, and feeling like your skills are undervalued.
That’s exactly what I set out to change.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve built and delivered a higher-level service model for small business owners, one that goes beyond tax returns and truly supports their growth.
There is a demand in this under-served market. Business owners want accountants who show up year-round, offer real-time advice, and act like the strategic CFOs they wish they had from day one.
That’s why I created Evergent HQ.
Our mission is simple: to transform accounting in Australia by helping ambitious accountants move beyond compliance and become the trusted CFO Advisors driving small business success.
What makes Evergent different?
- 7 years of proven systems, processes, and results
- Predictable monthly revenue with a subscription model
- Full-service offering: bookkeeping, tax, and CFO advisory
- Admin and marketing support so you can focus on growth
- Flexible growth path: solo, team, or multi-location
From day one, you’re backed with:
- CPD-style onboarding
- Ongoing mentoring from me and our leadership team
- Battle-tested client acquisition strategies
The top 5% of accountants in Australia aren’t waiting for tax season. They’re building recurring revenue and becoming the go-to partners for growing businesses.
If that’s the direction you’re ready to take, now’s the time.
- We’re looking for accountants who share our values and drive for excellence.
- Apply now. Foundation territories are limited.
