"Hadleys CPAs was formed in 1981 by Michael Hadley. Previously Michael worked as accountant, chief accountant, financial controller and company secretary to a variety of organizations including multi-nationals, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and service providers. In his last role before entering practice Michael was company secretary and operations manager for a computer service bureau that provided computerized accounting and business solutions to some of the best known organizations in Australia.

These clients included News Limited, Health Commission of NSW, Fox Manufacturing, Institute of Clinical Pathology, Spastic Centre of NSW and the Housing Industry of Australia. It was the satisfaction and stimulation provided by this challenging advisory role that led Michael to establish Hadleys and commence practice on his own account."
