Do things you love with people you care about and good things happen 💙

BlueRock is for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. We’re a one-stop-shop for business owners and investors with adventurous goals.

BlueRock was created to be different to other firms – a disruptor by nature, and a multidisciplinary firm that is changing the way people and clients view professional services. From day one, that has been a central element that has attracted both clients and people to it.  That difference, together with the entrepreneurial drive provided by its founder, Peter Lalor, has enabled BlueRock to grow incredibly quickly.

Established in 2008, BlueRock employs over 350 people in Australia and New Zealand. BlueRock know that business can be tough and that life gets busy, which is why we act as advisors, not just accountants, and bring together lawyers, finance brokers, digital specialists, insurance brokers, financial planners, and grant consultants – everyone our clients need on their team to make life easier. 

We love what we do, and we understand how to attract and retain the best talent and clients. From a disruptive startup, BlueRock has grown quickly to become a national business, recognized on Top 100 lists and as a ‘Best Place to Work’ company for many years.

Joining our team means unlocking career growth opportunities, gaining client referrals through our seamless service offerings, and engaging in meaningful work that makes a real impact.

🥳 We strive to have a positive impact on the world. We’re proud to be:

• B Corp Certified

• A Certified Great Place to Work
