This book, rich in source material and additional notes, has been compiled as a resource document detailing the career of Frank Leear Bolger (1841-1895), a successful public accountant who was a founding member and Fellow of the Incorporated Institute of Accountants, Victoria (IIAV), a member of the Melbourne Stock Exchange, a Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute in London, and a Justice of the Peace. Born in Islington, Greater London, in 1841, Frank arrived in Victoria as a young adult in the early 1860s, establishing a business as an accountant and sharebroker first in Castlemaine, and then Sandhurst (Bendigo), before relocating to Melbourne's financial precinct in late 1878. He was an articulate, elegant, and educated man who, over the course of three decades, was instrumental in the foundation and management of a number of building societies, auditor of the Castlemaine Brewery and Malting Company, Limited at its various branches along the eastern seaboard of Australia, and secretary, director, manager, and/or broker of a plethora of mining companies primarily in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania.
