Established in 2005 as McLeod and Partners, founded on the expertise of Jonathan Paul McLeod who began his career in restructuring and insolvency in 1985 under the guidance of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and Ernst and Young, the firm has built a strong reputation for delivering tailored financial solutions. Jonathan's leadership at Knights Insolvency (Knights) further shaped Mcleods into the firm it is today, known for precision, integrity, and strategic financial guidance.
Bill Karageozis commenced his career with Mcleods in 2005. Bill and Jonathan commenced their relationship at Knights, and today have a relationship which has spanned over 20 years.

Having worked alongside Jonathan McLeod since founding the practice, Bill Karageozis who was already registered as a Trustee in Bankruptcy, registered as a Liquidator with the Australian Securities Investments Commission.

Mcleods took another leap forward by assisting a fellow Brisbane based practice, Artemis Insolvency, in the orderly transfer of almost 80 insolvency appointments to Bill Karageozis, together with a number of staff whom had knowledge of the complex matters, who are still with Mcleods today. Over 24 months, Mcleods continued to integrate the Artemis Insolvency practice and work through the inherited appointments with great success to all stakeholders.

The firms increasing presence in the restructuring and insolvency industry throughout south east Queensland, identified the requirement for a further office being established. With the Gold Coast's continuing growth year on year, it was a location considered appropriate to provide our services.
Nick Keramos and Bill Karageozis were colleagues in the industry and long term personal friends, and discussed on occasions over many years, the concept of coming together under the same firm. Nick made the bold proposal of commencing a dedicated Gold Coast office, to service client referral partners locally. The Gold Coast office was established in July 2021, and can be considered today as a competitor in the Gold Coast restructuring and insolvency space. The Gold Coast office has a dedicated team in Southport, which works alongside their Brisbane colleagues. The establishment of this milestone was the preface of Nick and Bill's business partnership.
