Pat is one of Accountancy Insurance’s founding Directors. He has been involved with tax audit insurance since 2003 and subsequently founded Accountancy Insurance the same year. Pat commenced his career in financial accounting in the early 1980’s before spending a number of years working in the public practice area. Pat has developed the systems and processes of Accountancy Insurance from the ground up. His diverse and well-rounded accounting experience has assisted him greatly in creating and building the company, whilst his many years spent in the public practice area has enabled him to not only have a great insight into public practice workings, but also of the requirements and expectations.

Roman Kaczynski (CPA) started his public practice career in 1984, working in various public practice firms for over 25 years. It was during his time working in public practice that he was introduced to Accountancy Insurance, initially as their external accountants in 2004 in the early stages of operation, and later as a user and advisor on their tax audit insurance product, Audit Shield. Roman’s understanding of tax audit insurance and Audit Shield saw him assist and train claims staff at Vero (one of Australia’s largest insurance companies). Roman was an adviser on the Accountancy Insurance Board until 2009 when he became a Director. He manages the underwriting agency side of Accountancy Insurance.
