An accomplished executive leader and registered tax agent. I combine over 20 years of business experience with 8 years of tax and financial services expertise to provide my clients with quality advice and services to help them grow their businesses. Key industries I have focused on include farming (including broadacre and livestock), wholesalers, logistics and distribution and Indigenous Corporations..
I am passionate about working with people ranging from individual sole traders, not for profits, community organisations all the way to major enterprises to activate opportunities to structure their tax to work for them, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and optimise their cash flow. My practical approach combines a detailed understanding of the relevant legislation, a keen analytical thinking ability and a proactive style that helps me maximise outcomes for my clients.
My communication and interpersonal skills are among my greatest professional assets, and I am known for building strong relationships with clients, colleagues, community members and stakeholders. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and can explain complex financial principles in an accessible, easily understood style by tailoring the information to suit my clients’ needs.
An active member of my local community, I held many positions with local organisations and am currently the Non-Executive Director of the Family Violence Aboriginal Legal Service. Having spent seven years of my career working with the Federal Government to better support and understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, I possess a deep respect for culturally safe and sensitive practices.
If you’d like to know more about me, I’d love to have a chat – feel free to reach out!
