About Us

Learn more about Imax Business Group, from our origins as a one-man firm in the early 90s right through to our growth and expansion into the organisation we are today.

We are located in Melbourne's inner city area

Imax Business Group (IBG) was founded by Arthur Ioannou in 1994 as an accountancy practice. Within a few years and a steady stream of loyal clients, it soon grew from a one-man operation into a busy accountancy business.

In 1999 IBG relocated into larger premises in North Fitzroy and then in July 2005 moved into its own premises at 652 Smith Street Clifton Hill. The warm yet professional atmosphere of this historical and architecturally renovated building reflects IBG as a dynamic and well established centre for accountancy, management consultancy, and financial planning.

As IBG grew, so too did its staff. IBG's management and staff come from diverse professional backgrounds including: accountancy; economics; management consulting; financial planning and justice.

The original intention and naming of Imax was a blend of two ideas. One, was a passion to work closely with clients, by being able to have 'real and honest financial conversations'. Two, was to assist them to grow and prosper financially. Collectively it was about taking Individuals to their MAXimum. This still remains the cornerstone of our commitment towards our clients' growth and financial wellbeing.

This philosophy also forms the foundation of the relationship we have with our staff; through ongoing training and development - to take Individual staff to their MAXimum.
