Our History
Langanis Chartered Accountants is passionate about helping, growing and supporting businesses reach their full potential.
This can be traced back to my great grandfather who migrated to Australia before World War 2 in search of a better life for his family.
He made the ultimate sacrifice by departing Greece without his family (wife and three young children) to pursue this goal.
He toiled for 10 long years on back-breaking sugar plantations in Queensland without any support to bring them to Australia. (Failure was not an option).
He reunited our family in South Australia,1947. He started operating businesses in Norwood, South Australia and continued pursuing his goal of attaining a better life for us.
His sacrifices and support provided my grandfather and his siblings the opportunity to establish their own business in the early 1960's together at Elizabeth.
My grandfather then expanded into wholesaling fruit and vegetable produce in the Adelaide east end markets which helped many farmers and market-gardeners sell their produce to South Australians.
He continued his father’s goal of providing a better life for his family and imparted their combined passion, determination, work ethic and knowledge of business into the next generations of our family.

This continued with my parents operating various businesses within Adelaide, South Australia and Melbourne, Victoria.
I have been raised inside these businesses, before school, after school, weekends, school holidays and discussions at the dinner table.
I am passionately expanding my great grandfathers goal - Pursuing the betterment of all family livelihoods through business as a trusted accountant and advisor to them.
