Having spent my formative years around my family’s small business in Western Queensland, I have always had a keen interest on what makes businesses tick. This naturally drew me towards a career in accounting, as it allows me to build relationships and provide tangible advice to my clients. Traditional accountants often have a focus on compliance and historical results, but I am a future facing accountant who wants to help my clients navigate issues and formulate growth strategies proactively. Having now settled on the Gold Coast I am looking forward to developing personal relationships with my clients and the community.
Description of Role
My first role was in a boutique public practice accounting firm in April 2017, where my focus was on providing taxation and compliance advice for small businesses and high net worth individuals. As time passed, I made the decision to move towards larger accounting firms located in the Brisbane CBD so I could gain exposure to more complex areas of tax law and business advisory.
This move was of great value to myself professionally as over the last five years I have worked with a wide range of high-net-worth clients and businesses with turnovers exceeding $40 million. My clients have encompassed a wide range of professions from construction, agriculture, manufacturing, health and high net worth individuals. I also have advised clients in relation to bespoke tax pieces around international tax, provided ongoing business advisory support, completed numerous valuations and accompanying restructuring advice pieces.
Now having taken up a role as a Manager at Walsh Accountants I am looking forward to bringing my experience to the table and forming strong bonds with my clients.

Personal Interests
In my spare time my main passions revolve around sport and camping. Having been a lifelong fan of Cricket and Rugby League I will often have my weekends set aside for watching my favourite teams. Golf is a recent passion of mine, but unfortunately my enthusiasm is not matched by any particular talent. My ideal weekend would be camping by a river in the middle of nowhere with my partner and my Border Collie.
