We're here to champion growth through independence and adaptability.
Quack quack, read our story
Duck tales
Our story begins as three freelancers try to save some coin on accounting fees.
We (Sarah, Ryan and Luke) had decades of experience, so we knew joining forces would mean fewer invoices for us and our clients to deal with.
First, we needed a name. In true Chunky spirit of never taking ourselves too seriously, we assigned the task to the wisdom of a random name generator. And so, Chunky Duck was born.The name was supposed to be temporary, but – 3 years later – Chunky Duck is here to stay. In that time, we’ve grown into a 13-person team and built a killer service offering.
Like an egg, we support you
Our approach
Our approach can be broken down into 3 steps: empowerment, transparency and data.
We design our services to set you up for technological independence and future adaptability. We want to ensure you don’t rely on us for every strategic need. There are no technical handcuffs here.
We partner our services with open-source and transparent software providers, so you’re empowered to manage your own technology and performance. But if you need us – we’re always there.
At the end of every engagement, we’ll provide you with a knowledge-base of manuals and how-to guides. So you’re always prepared to scale. You have the freedom to choose your own future. And we’re here to support that.
Check out our services for a peek into the future.

Company values
What we stand for as a business, is something we’re continually refining.
These values stand as a baseline (or a framework) to be built upon by future ducklings as we all shape what our organisation stands for.
Empowerment
We believe that each and every individual has the propensity for success, and we do everything possible to provide an environment that empowers you.
You have the freedom to choose what your future holds and we’re here to support that.
Creativity
We are in the business of problem-solving, and clients engage our minds to lead them through their most complex challenges.
We revel at the opportunity to flex our creative muscles and support the ongoing improvements of work through innovation.
Balance
Chunky Duck was created as a lifestyle business, and we’ll be damned if that ever changes.
Finding balance in our lives provides the foundation for growth, and we seek to find the equilibrium in everything we do.
Transparency
We are open about our lives and business.
Transparency builds trust and opens the door to stronger relationships – whether that’s with another duckling or client. We encourage transparency in our work wherever possible.
Asynchronicity
The days of corporate offices and all-hands meetings are dead.
We foster an asynchronous communication model that provides access to information as and when needed.
100% Aussie owned
We’re proudly Australian-owned and don’t offshore work. All our ducklings are (usually) based in Australia and we try to give back to the communities we come from as much as possible.
We’re also stoked to be accredited by The Independent Media Agencies of Australia.

We’re doing our bit
Each year, we donate 1% of our revenue to some really amazing organisations that make the world a better place. Each duckling gets to pick their favourite, and we split the donation equally between everyone.
Find out more about our contributions below.
Ducks support rainforests
In addition to our 1% commitment, we also donate to Gondwana Rainforest Trust. In partnership with traditional custodians, the Trust purchases high conservation value rainforest and restores degraded rainforest to ensure the ongoing protection and management of these critically important ecosystems.
