Congratulations Andrew Lane on his incredible 45-year work anniversary!

Reaching a 45-year milestone with Accru is an extraordinary achievement, and we want to take this moment to express our deepest gratitude for his leadership, vision, and dedication over the years. His unwavering commitment and ability to inspire those around him have been key drivers of our success. Leading with passion, integrity, and a clear sense of purpose, shaping the firm into what it is today.

Since joining the firm as an undergraduate in 1980, straight out of Camberwell Grammer School, a lot has changed in the last 45 years. From the offices of Danby Bland Provan at Shakespeare Terrace on Punt Road Richmond, to St Kilda Road, to 123 then 50 Camberwell Road, Hawthorn East. Andrew has seen the practice evolve from the days of manual cash books and audit files, no computers or mobile phones, typewriters, secretaries, smoking at your desk and instant coffee from the office ‘café bar’. 

Andrew, we thank you for your exceptional contributions to Accru. The impact of your leadership has been immeasurable, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had you guiding us through so many milestones. We couldn’t have reached this point without you and we’re so grateful to have you as part of our team!

Representatives from Accru Melbourne had the pleasure of attending the Monash University Future Ready Industry Networking Event!

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with some incredibly talented individuals and discuss potential career paths. We were thrilled to meet so many bright minds and share insights into our dynamic work culture and the growth opportunities here at Accru.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat – we’re excited about the future and the possibility of working together!

On the 6^th of March, Accru held their second annual International Women’s Day Celebration! 

This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, focused on promoting gender equality, and we were thrilled to have Bec Daniher as the guest speaker. Bec is the Campaign Director for Fight MND, and her story, alongside the incredible work the Daniher family is doing to raise awareness and funds for motor neuron disease left everyone motivated and empowered.

A huge thank you to those who donated and supported the fundraising efforts for the Fight MND Foundation.

Our team had an amazing time connecting with the future talent at the Swinburne University of Technology Employment Expo! It was so fantastic meeting the enthusiastic students.

In March we hosted the launch of “Listening – A Guide to Building Deeper Connections” by Ross Judd. The book shares powerful insights on the importance of listening-not just hearing, to truly understand those around us.

We had an incredible time meeting so many talented students and graduates at the RMIT Careers Fair 2025!

Accru Melbourne is joined the fight against motor neurone disease (MND) with our very own Big Freeze! 

Accru Melbourne had their annual retreat at the Werribee Mansion this year, the day was dedicated to growth, connection and performance.

The morning started with firm updates, celebrating our successes and reinforcing our values, followed by an inspiring session of high-performing teams. It was a great opportunity to reflect on our journey, strengthen our shared values, and explore how we can grow together, as a firm.

After the morning of reflection and strategy, we took our team building out to Werribee Zoo! The amazing safari tour, where the team got up close with the incredible wildlife.  Then, we put our collaboration and problem-solving skills to test in a challenge – navigating our way through the zoo together.

After a day of strategy, teamwork and adventure, we wrapped up the annual firm retreat with a themed dinner ‘Iconic Performers’ at Werribee Mansion!
