‘When my clients are compliant, they can focus on growing their business.’

Qualifications

Advanced Diploma of Accounting

Areas of expertise

It’s about compliance, compliance, compliance. I love having lots of numbers to play with.

Clients can be embarrassed and distressed about the ‘mess’ they think they’re in. I help sort everything out and put them on the right path. It’s a win for everyone.

And outside work…

I love to camp, read and spend time with my family, and in the garden.

Areas of expertise

I’m going to be honest: I love 90% of what I do! The other 10% I end up laughing about the next day, and isn’t that just how it should be in your work?

I’m thirsty for knowledge and love challenging myself to learn something new each day.

Working at KDC Accounting gives me the opportunity to work and grow with a strong team of awesome accountants!

And outside work…

 I have a passion for motor vehicles and I love being outdoors as much as I can, I’ve always enjoyed camping and traveling.

If I was not an accountant and didnt work at KDC, I would be a fighter pilot.

Practice Manager

“If I haven’t heard it before, I’ve probably done it myself. I had to employ (and then marry) Kerri to keep my finances in order!”

Qualifications

• Diploma in Leadership and Management
• Previous Security Clearance NV1

Areas of expertise

My conscience drives my performance, along with my strong attention to detail. I’m a big believer in listening carefully to clients and finding feasible outcomes. My door is always open, and utmost professionalism is important to me. It’s something I expect from my team, and we get there with compassion and kindness. I encourage all the staff at KDC to be friendly and approachable — for each other and for the clients we serve.

I can’t say my career hasn’t been varied. It began at 19 in the gut house of an abattoir, then as DJ in a nightclub. I’ve been a call centre operator, GAS re-connector, security guard, bouncer, public servant, business owner and more. I’m still the owner of a nerf party business.

And outside work…

You’ll find me unwinding with a favourite movie (I rate Men in Black, Independence Day and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). Next time you’re in, let’s compare notes on sci fi, horror, action, thriller and comedy.

If I didn’t work at KDC, maybe I’d be a parking inspector or speed camera operator. It’s more enjoyable all round if we meet at the accountant’s office!

‘I love cleaning up messes and improving processes. I’m always ready to help out.’

Areas of expertise

I’ll always explain to clients how I’m improving their accounts. I’ll show them in a way that’s easy to understand, even if numbers aren’t their thing.

Outside work…

When I’m not watching soccer, rugby league or at the gym, I enjoy extended family BBQs and trips interstate to see friends. I’m planning for a holiday to England one day, to watch the soccer. Everyone needs an aspirational goal!

If I was not an accountant and didn’t work at KDC, I would be a Football (Soccer) analyst for Manchester City

For me, it’s not the ‘official’ side of my work that matters most: liaising with the tax office, ensuring individual and business compliance, serving on committees and panels to regulate, manage and improve the industry, although all of that is, of course, professionally rewarding.

What really matters to me is the difference I’m able to make in people’s lives. For some, that’s removing fear and uncertainty and worry. For others it’s removing hassle and stress and irritation and letting them get on with what they see as the ‘fun stuff’ in their businesses. Sometimes it’s about improving their numbers to create work-life balance, or boosting their family’s lifestyle or helping them realise business dreams. Whatever the positive outcome, I love being a part of it!

Outside Work…

I have two adult sons, both of whom have moved out into the world to follow their passions. I couldn’t be more proud of the men that they have grown up to be – just ask me and I will tell you all about them. Mal and I are film buffs (though no soppy chick flicks for me!) When not working, I also enjoy photography and scrapbooking. And if you still haven’t heard me talk enough … ask me about Harry Potter!
