Wyndham Business Awards 2026

Local Recognition:
Nanak Accountants Wins Excellence in Professional & Business Services

From a Garage to the Winner’s Stage

On Friday 16 October 2026, Wyndham City Council named Nanak Accountants & Associates the winner of Excellence in Professional & Business Services at the 30th Wyndham Business Awards.

A record 177 businesses entered and 53 were shortlisted. We were the only accounting firm among them – and we walked away with the win.

We started in 2020 as one person working from a garage in Melbourne’s west. Every client since has come the same way: someone trusted us, then told a friend, a brother-in-law, a workmate.

This recognition belongs to our clients across Wyndham, and to a team that does the unglamorous work every single day.

What the judges said

Recognised for technology, compliance and client advocacy

The independent judging panel was particularly impressed by our use of technology – custom-built CRMs for staff and for clients, a strong website, and a balanced approach to automation that makes life easier for clients while keeping the service personal.

They also highlighted our commitment to documentation and Tax Practitioners Board compliance from the first day of client onboarding, our technical knowledge and innovation, and our strong advocacy for clients when dealing with the Australian Taxation Office.

“The standout was communication: a bespoke CRM and website with real time dashboards, automated lead routing and monitored response times ensures clients are never left waiting. Platform operation and procedure are exemplary, with remote based servers and strict controls, while their community and education commitment includes payroll training for local businesses, pro bono charity applications and funding the Teenagers Club for elderly migrants.”

Wyndham Business Awards 2026 judging panel, as published in Star Weekly, 21 October 2026

01

Smart technology

Custom CRMs for staff and clients, with automation that saves time without losing the personal touch.

02

Compliance from day one

Documentation and Tax Practitioners Board obligations built into onboarding, not bolted on later.

03

Technical knowledge

Depth across individual, business and SMSF tax, applied with fresh thinking.

04

Client advocacy

Standing up for clients when dealing with the Australian Taxation Office.

“

Every client we have came to us the same way – someone took a chance on us, then told a friend, a brother-in-law, a workmate. That is the whole story of how a garage became eight offices and a team of 25. This award belongs to them.
