Hansens was founded by Harold Hansen in 1997 after he left Greenfield Fox Hansen to pursue innovative, client-focused solutions in accounting.

From the very beginning, Harold was determined Hansens would always strive to innovate and develop solutions for clients.  Innovate to make clients great was to become a guiding principle over the years, putting Hansens at the forefront of many developments in the accounting profession.

In 1998, Lisa Stribley and Trevor Schoenmaekers joined Harold as partners, followed by Brett Hansen in 2002. Brett became the sole Director in 2014, continuing Hansens’ commitment to innovation and early adoption of tools like Xero to enhance client collaboration and modernize outdated practices.

In 2021, Hansens merged with Navigator Accounting, forming Hansen & Wills Pty Ltd. Despite pandemic challenges and office setbacks, Hansens persevered. In 2024, Brett and Rohan mutually demerged, allowing Hansens to evolve independently once again as Hansens Evolution Pty Ltd.

Today, over 27 years later, Hansens stays true to Harold’s vision by providing expertise in estate planning, business risk management, and succession, focusing on holistic financial success for clients.
