From overcoming the stark realities of war to becoming an emblem of resilience, empowerment, and success, Dan's journey is both inspiring and instructive. Starting anew in Australia after escaping the perils of the Vietnam War, he tackled the significant challenges of language and culture, demonstrating a resolve that aligns with PCA's deep commitment to guiding clients through uncertainties towards their unique visions of success. As a testament to his dedication to intellectual growth, Dan excelled in his Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) at the University of Tasmania, undeterred by language barriers. His ambition mirrors PCA's goal to constantly adapt and learn to deliver exceptional service and value to our clients. 

His career began at the Australian Taxation Office, where he perfected his accounting and auditing skills, a testament to his proactive approach, resonating with PCA's dedication to professional growth.

In 1994, backed by a wealth of industry wisdom, Dan Phan co-founded his practice with the principles of affordability and mentorship specifically designed to uplift small and medium-sized businesses.

This ethos aligns with PCA’s mission to support our clients in developing their businesses and navigating their fiscal and legal responsibilities. 

The PCA Difference

Dan's journey, from his daring escape to establishing a successful accounting practice, epitomises resilience, empowerment, and sheer determination, inspiring PCA to help clients surpass their challenges, achieve their aspirations, and exceed expectations.

While enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) at the University of Tasmania, David Campbell met and formed an instrumental partnership with Dan Phan. Their collaborative approach to their studies established a valuable connection that would greatly influence David's professional journey.

Following his academic journey, David gained substantial experience in the financial industry. His dedication, perseverance, and extensive knowledge led him to secure positions of Financial Controller and CFO in leading financial services companies, allowing him to nurture and develop crucial skills in finance and leadership.

In 1994, David co-founded the practice with Dan, specifically aimed at helping small and medium business owners, particularly those from diverse backgrounds who faced additional challenges, by providing affordable accounting and tax services. The firm not only provided essential services but embodied the spirit of mentorship.
