What the award means to us

David Briese • October 30, 2015

Being awarded Dalby Business of the Year was an incredible honour. When we started BMO 25 years ago, we would not have predicted that we’d grow to a leading Australian accounting firm, with 57 team members, a full range of business and financial advisory services in a modern business centre serving clients stretching across all Australian states. By staying true to our vision and our values, and remaining committed to our local community, we have achieved more than we ever dreamed.

However, for us, it’s never been about being the biggest or the best. Our focus has always been about putting people first, listening to our clients and our team, and being ‘with you every step of the way’.

When BEA comes around each year, it forces us to do an annual review of our business. It helps us track where we are making progress and identify where we need to improve.

One our proudest moments on the awards night was seeing so many of our clients named as finalists and winners of their own industry categories. We’d particularly like to congratulate Adam Luck Electrical – the Small Business of the Year. In many ways, seeing our clients excel is more exciting than winning awards ourselves, as we like to think we have played a small part in helping them achieve their success.

We are very fortunate to have support from our great team, our clients and our families, and are grateful to be a part of the vibrant Dalby Business community.

BMO Partners Peter, Adrian, Kelvin, Michelle, David, Mal and Shane.

Adrian Rasmussen retires after decades supporting Regional Queensland

By BMO • June 30, 2026
After an incredible career dedicated to supporting regional businesses, farming families and rural communities, BMO Business Centre Partner Adrian Rasmussen will officially retire from the partnership effective 30 June 2026. For many across the Western Downs and beyond, Adrian has been far more than an accountant or advisor. Over decades in business, he has built trusted relationships grounded in honesty, loyalty and a genuine understanding of regional life and the people who live it. Adrian’s connection to the country and agriculture has always been at the heart of who he is. He has worked alongside generations of farming families and business owners through seasons of growth, challenge and change, becoming a steady and respected presence for clients, colleagues and the wider community alike. Reflecting on his time at BMO, Adrian said the relationships formed throughout his career have been among the most rewarding parts of the journey. “It has been a privilege to work with so many wonderful people over the years; not only clients, but colleagues and communities who have become lifelong friends,” Adrian said. “Regional communities are built on relationships, trust and supporting one another, and I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of that throughout my career.” BMO Business Centre Managing Partners Kelvin Tyler and Michelle McVeigh said Adrian’s contribution to both the business and the region would leave a lasting legacy. “Adrian has played an incredibly important role in shaping BMO into the business it is today,” they said. “His care for clients, commitment to regional communities and calm, practical approach have earned enormous respect across our industry and the communities we serve. While we will certainly miss having him in the office, we are excited for Adrian and his family as they enter this next chapter.” While stepping away from the partnership, Adrian is looking forward to spending more time with family, on the farm and enjoying a well-earned change of pace after many years dedicated to supporting others. Everyone at BMO Business Centre extends their sincere thanks to Adrian for his years of service, friendship and leadership, and wishes Adrian and his family all the very best for the future.
