Since becoming a Director in 2004 I have faced many business challenges all that most small business owners also face. I can relate well to Small Business Owners and assist them from the start of their business journey in choosing the appropriate structure right through to monitoring and setting goals for growth and expansion.
Being involved in Public Practice has provided many skills in general areas of taxation, information technology, choosing appropriate business structures, capital gains, corporate secretarial functions and many other general areas.
I am passionate about keeping up to date with technology, using technology to streamline and systemise the practice here and with the introduction of cloud technologies appearing in the market I am excited about the opportunities these bring to small businesses owners also.
I enjoy running and cooking!.
