The best part of what I do is the relationships with our clients, assisting them to build their businesses and make them more efficient and profitable. We continue to look at suitable management tools with this goal in mind.
My accounting career started way back in 1976 when I commenced work with Arthur Young & Co. Five years later I began focusing on tax, working for Milne Stevens Searcy, then Elders and Simpson Ltd. I commenced practice with Colin D Rowe & Co (now BHC Partners) in July 1988.

Although tax is my main focus, I really enjoy providing a very proactive and comprehensive service that covers all aspects of business transactions. A particular interest is helping clients who are starting a new business, ensuring their structure is correct from the beginning. I know how tough small business can be, but I have seen the benefit of maintaining momentum when times are difficult.

I also advise clients on asset protection, finance negotiations, wealth creation, business and succession planning and estate planning.

Experience:
I began working in the Taxation sector in 1987 after working for Westpac and a small private practice. Over the years I have worked for medium-sized practices starting out as an office junior and working my way to senior management. Because I have helped so many clients with small businesses, I have built a great deal of experience in building success in a diverse range of industries.

I particularly enjoy the in-depth relationships we have cultivated with our clients. I find it rewarding to participate in your clients’ success by helping them implement management tools which assist them to monitor their business, allowing them to be proactive rather than reactive.

Experience:
The first ten years of my career were in a manufacturing environment with a short stint in the public service. I graduated with distinction in my accounting degree in 1988 and was admitted as an associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in 1989.
I have had over 20 years experience in the accountancy profession specialising, in taxation and strategic management. I believe the experience I gained before becoming an accountant really helped me to understand the needs of small business owners.
