I joined Allchurch & Co in February this year after I moved to Adelaide in July 2022. I have 20 years of experience as an Accountant, most of it was gained in the BPO industry. I have worked in different departments such as Payroll, Travel & Expense Accounting, and Balance Sheet Reporting. Working in the BPO industry exposed me to different cultures, business practices, and business etiquette.

During this time, I have gained 6 years of experience in Self-managed Super Funds and 1 year in Financial Reporting, and preparation of tax returns for Individuals, Partnerships, Trusts, and Companies. I have also gained experience in Bookkeeping and Payroll processing.
I look forward to working closely with clients to help them to attain their objectives and to add value to their businesses through my work.

I am new to Adelaide, so I am busy exploring South Australia.
I love SA’s culture, the food, the wineries and the pristine beaches which are just a few minutes’ drive from the city where I live.
I also love going to events and festivals which are happening all year round in South Australia.
When not out and about, I am just at home doing an online study for my master’s degree in business administration.
