Share the journey

Encourage one another, celebrate successes, and laugh together. Look after, and champion one another. Work should be a fun, passion-fuelled environment. It is in looking after yourself and each other you can do your best work.

Our Purpose Statement.

Our purpose for existing is to Create Impact.

We achieve this by walking alongside Not-for-Profit organisations to drive transformative change in our communities. We believe that in supporting organisations to achieve their breakthrough, their communities will also see breakthrough.

The Breakthrough Office is an outsourced Accounting, Payroll, HR, and Corporate Governance solution, exclusively for Not-for-Profit organisations. Established out of a passion to make a difference in the world, we work alongside incredible organisations that are making a difference in their Communities.

We strive to be an innovative firm, recognising the balance of both experience and automation in achieving value-add results for your organisation. Our team includes Qualified CPA and CA Accountants, with over 25 years of experience in Not-for-Profit Accounting.

As our name suggests, we are passionate about seeing our clients achieve Breakthrough – whether that be financially, structurally or administratively. We believe that by partnering with organisations to achieve success and see increased efficiency in these areas, their communities will also see breakthrough. In other words, by releasing our clients from these onerous and time-consuming in-house functions, and working with them to achieve strategic goals and make informed decisions, they will be better placed to focus their time, energy and skills on their for-purpose functions.

In this way, we are not only passionate about what we do but also the difference our clients are making in the community. With this in mind, we monitor and evaluate our “success” based on the success of our clients in achieving their objectives.

In 2018 our CEO, Darren Fitzgibbon, formed The Breakthrough Office (formerly Breakthrough Accounting) after 25 years of working in Public Practice Accounting. Throughout his career, Darren has been extremely fortunate to have worked with many national and global For-Profits and Not-for-Profits. In recognising the unique nature of Not-for-Profits, and his passion for this space, The Breakthrough Office was formed.
