Garry J. Widdup, B. Com, FCA, FGIA, CPA, is the founding principal of Widdup Barilla and brings over 40 years of industry experience to the firm. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia (FCA), a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), a Fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia, a Registered Company Auditor, and a Registered Tax Agent.
Before founding Widdup Barilla, Garry spent twelve years with Sydney-based international chartered accountancy firms, including Price Waterhouse Coopers and BDO, where he gained extensive experience across all facets of accounting, taxation, and auditing.
With a wealth of education and expertise, Garry turned down lucrative city partnership opportunities to create his own practice, driven by the desire to establish a firm free from the high overheads typical of city-based practices. In 1990, Garry was joined by Mr. Joseph Barilla FCA, and the two worked together for 19 years before Joe’s untimely passing in 2009.
