Global Group of Carr Companies · Est. 1977
Twenty companies.
Nine sectors.
Two hemispheres.
GGOCC is the multi-national group behind operating businesses in tax & accounting, software, media, construction, connectivity, agriculture, hospitality, real estate development and philanthropy — anchored in the United States and New Zealand, with reach from Toronto to Perth.
What we do
Nearly every sector,
one standard of craft.
Tax, Accounting & Advisory
The founding division. Certified tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, investment advice and financial planning — 15,000+ returns filed since 1983, investment advisory since 1977.
Software & Technology
Energy-retail billing platforms, clean cloud bookkeeping, an Auckland web studio and custom AI systems built in the Twin Cities.
Construction & Environmental
Job order contracting for public facilities; abatement, remediation and demolition across Texas.
Real Estate & Hospitality
Land development on Lake Dunstan and property interests across the US Sunbelt.
Connectivity
Kiwi-built broadband — fibre in town, wireless in the countryside, no data caps.
Rural & Lifestyle
New Zealand's largest alpaca fibre pool — 300,000+ kg collected, around 20,000 kg a year since 2010 — and merino wool comforts for the trail, made in Central Otago.
Media & Publications
Four decades of Australasian energy exploration news, plus turn-key patient publications for medical and chiropractic practices — published from Mt Lawley, WA.
Philanthropy
The group's 501(c)(3) foundation — schools and children's education, clean water, disaster relief and animal welfare. 100% volunteer-driven since 1990, so every dollar reaches the programs.
Leadership & Governance
Built company by company across five decades by founder John M. Carr — MBA, CPA, CFP, CFE, CVA, EA.
Where we operate
One working day
that never ends.
Thirteen locations across eight time zones. When the Texas offices close, Central Otago is already at work — and the day starts again.
Flagship companies
Operators, not just owners.
Better Business Services
Certified tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll — more than 15,000 returns filed from offices in Texas, Oklahoma and Florida.

Operators first, investors second — since 1977.
Every GGOCC company began as real work that needed doing well: preparing returns, billing energy customers, connecting rural homes, developing land. We build businesses to run them — patiently, and for the long term.
Work with a group that does the work.
A tax team, a software platform, a contractor, fast broadband or a lakefront base in Central Otago — one conversation reaches all of it.
