Our history
The journey we took to be here today.
Quill Group is founded — 2000
Kevin Nicol established Quill Group in Southport on the Gold Coast and trademarked the brand in 2005. He named the practice Quill as he wanted a name that represented the origins of accounting and reflected the quality of services Quill provides.

Kevin Nicol was joined by co-director Peter Kirk when Peter merged his financial planning business (formerly Financial Life Solutions) into Quill, creating a second office in Eight Mile Plains.
