Meet our Dicky Beach team

Born in the Sunshine State but raised in Canberra, I was happy to move to the Sunshine Coast in 1999 and finish my degree in Business at the Sunshine Coast University. After completing my CPA qualification I founded Asset Accounting from home in Currimundi before moving into our current premises in Dicky Beach.

I have been told that I have a knack for explaining accounting and tax issues in a way that the layman can understand; I think that it is just that I take the time to make sure people do understand exactly what is going on. I have a passion for business structuring and Self Managed Super Funds and get the most job satisfaction when a client is reaching their goals in the most efficient way.

Away from work, I like to spend time with my family at the beach or camping. I also sing and play guitar and follow the Canberra Raiders in the NRL.

I am a CPA qualified accountant with over 20 year experience in providing accounting, management and taxation advice to small and business. I starting my career in one of the big four firms, Coopers and Lybrand as a specialist advisor in there taxation division. These were the days of corporate libraries – there was no internet – and I spent countless hours with my head in "big books" researching case law. At the same time I was also planning an adventure with a rock band called the Aadvarks. Having tasted the success of winning the Queensland Rock Awards I felt sure we were on track to becoming the next INXS. So having spent 4 years with Coopers I moved to Sydney to pursue my rock star ambitions. Sadly I admit the move to Sydney did not launch me to fame and fortune but I did get to tour up and down the east coast with some of great Aussie bands of their time. I returned to Brisbane and commenced work with a smaller city based chartered accounting firm, Steinhardt and Company. To my surprise I found I really enjoyed working within a smaller firm environment and gained invaluable experience in managing the accounting and taxation needs of a wide variety of clients. In particular I enjoyed the one to one client contact. Becoming an integral part of a clients business, I gained job satisfaction from contributing to business growth and success. After having spent 11 years with Steinhardt and Company my wife and I moved to the Sunshine Coast. We had decided the time was right to start a family and thought the coast lifestyle provide the perfect environment to raise a young family.

I moved to the Sunshine coast 10 years ago from Canberra. I enjoy surfing, scuba diving, kite surfing and just hanging out at the skate ramp. I have 2 daughters who keep me busy and a husband who drives me insane. I look after all the ASIC corporate affairs.

I completed my Bachelor of Commerce, with a double major in accounting and financial planning, at the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2014. Upon graduation I was awarded with the Faculty Medal of Business for my high level of achievement in the School of Business. I started working at Asset Accountants & Advisers while completing my final year of study.

At home (and on my lunch breaks) I can often be found reading and especially enjoy fantasy adventure stories. I also enjoy gaming, and have even been to the OPL finals in Melbourne for LoL with my partner and friends, and in true e-girl spirit you can usually see me with bold hair colours. I love cooking and baking – I'm the go to in the family for birthday cakes. I adore my two miniature dachshunds and love watching them play and run around in the backyard.

With over four decades of calling the Sunshine Coast home, I've cultivated a deep-rooted connection to this beautiful region that shines through in all aspects of my life. Holding a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from the University of the Sunshine Coast, I find immense joy in assisting clients to navigate their tax responsibilities with ease and confidence. Outside the realm of finance, I enjoy leisurely strolls along the coast and creating treasured moments with my family.

A proud Pelican Waters local for over 25 years, I am a seasoned bookkeeper with over 35 years of experience in Australia’s dynamic financial landscape. Specialising in small to medium-sized enterprises, I bring a wealth of expertise in financial record-keeping and payroll management.

I have had extensive experience in hospitality and construction businesses.

Outside of my professional life, I am a passionate foodie who loves exploring new culinary experiences. I enjoy hiking through picturesque landscapes and unwinding with a glass of fine wine. Known for my integrity, reliability, and personalised approach, I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve financial clarity and success.

I have had the privilege of calling the Sunshine Coast home for the past 25 years where I have raised 3 beautiful daughters with my childhood sweetheart. I treasure the coastal lifestyle and love to spend time with family and friends enjoying the simple pleasures that life has to offer.

With over twenty years in business, complemented by a Diploma of Accounting from Monarch Institute, my journey has woven a tapestry of skills ranging from financial management to customer service, sales and marketing to project and event management. I've even delved into the complexities of import/export and nurtured the growth of both products and businesses.

These experiences aren't just items on my professional checklist; they've shaped me deeply, offering insights into the subtle intricacies that spell success in the ever-changing realm of business.
