About Jahn Group
Jahn Group is a close-knit accounting and taxation business that provides comprehensive solutions for clients across all aspects of accounting. Our key services include accounting and taxation, bookkeeping, self-managed super funds, business advice, and taxation planning.
Founded by Harold Jahn in 1988 as Jahn Financial and Accounting, the business began in Duncraig, providing tax and accounting services to local businesses and individuals. Over time, Harold’s son Chris joined, taking over ownership in 2009. Chris led the business through significant growth, relocating to Osborne Park in 2020 and rebranding as Jahn Group Accounting and Taxation Services, bringing on additional staff and expanding our services.
New Leadership with the Same Commitment
In 2024, Mark Howard stepped into the role of Managing Director at Jahn Group, bringing fresh energy and a deep commitment to serving clients with the same dedication that’s been our hallmark for decades. With over 20 years of experience in tax and business advisory, Mark is here to make sure Jahn Group clients get the best in personal, expert service.
Mark specialises in helping small to medium-sized businesses handle their tax and financial needs with ease. As the founder of Strategic Taxation Services, he’s spent years guiding businesses—from sole traders to larger companies—through tax complexities, finding the most efficient and practical solutions. His approach is down-to-earth, focused on giving clients the clear advice they need to stay compliant and save money.
One of Mark’s strengths is looking closely at a business’s current setup to see where things could be improved for tax savings and compliance. He collaborates with clients to make smart adjustments if there’s a more tax-effective way to go. Mark’s practical recommendations can make a real difference in helping businesses keep more of what they earn.
For companies with employees, Mark has a sharp eye for identifying and addressing potential Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) issues. His proactive approach here helps clients sidestep costly penalties, giving them peace of mind to focus on their core operations.
New Leadership with the Same Commitment
Mark’s been a part of the hills community for over 45 years, and his local insights are a big plus for our clients. Knowing the area and its unique business landscape means Mark can connect with clients on a personal level, offering guidance that’s tailored to their needs and goals.
While Mark leads the day-to-day, Chris Jahn remains a vital part of the team as Senior Tax Consultant. Having Chris’s expertise available ensures continuity for our clients and a seamless transition in leadership, with the same trusted support.
With Mark’s strong leadership and Chris’s ongoing involvement, Jahn Group is fully equipped to continue offering the personalised, high-quality service our clients know us for. We’re excited about the future and look forward to helping new and existing clients reach their financial and business goals with trusted, practical advice.
