Bill at Bourke Accounting once warned that Bourke employees should avoid talking about politics, sex or religion with clients. This was sound advice last year, but it’s imperative this year. As a country, we have become polarized to the point that a few inches of cloth are causing assaults. If we can’t avoid stabbing each… Read More
During our weekly staff meetings, we at Bourke Accounting are allowed to express ourselves. Whether it’s a suggestion for a new type of file folder or an elaborate concept for marketing, we are able to speak freely without fear of ridicule. It’s nice to bounce infant ideas off of others and examine them from a… Read More
It’s not easy to forget to do your taxes when you work for tax preparers like the ones you’ll find at Bourke Accounting.

Other Bourke natives (like a certain gentleman accountant or a specific civilian writer) actually did spend… Read More

Bourke Accounting does the holidays to the extreme for its employees. However, Bourke management really outdid themselves for us this year and we’re starting to understand why.
