Our origin story

Our Sydney legacy started over 100 years ago, Modoras has built a legacy of accounting excellence, guiding generations of businesses through change, growth and opportunity.

From humble beginnings in early 20th-century Sydney, our story is one of resilience, vision and enduring relationships. Founded by Stanley S. Downes — who started with a single desk in a solicitor’s back room — our firm has grown through world wars, economic upheaval and generations of leadership.

We’ve guided iconic Sydney businesses, built lifelong partnerships and shaped the city’s commercial landscape for over a century. In 1984, Peter Sarai expanded our legacy, launching the wealth business that would redefine our all-encompassing client offering.

Discover how a commitment to practical advice, ethical service, and genuine connection transformed a one-man practice into a trusted name in accounting and wealth management excellence.
