1. At Davidsons I am a Senior Accountant and work in our Tax and Business Services Division (Torquay).
  2. I chose Tax and Business Services as a career as I am passionate about helping my clients with not only their tax and business problems, but also assisting with their long-term financial goals.
  3. My clients love working with me because I have a strong work ethic and maintain clear and honest communications and I go above and beyond to ensure the job gets done.
  4. The team would describe me as extremely competitive but also as someone who loves to have a fun time. I not only love to ‘win’, I love to see my clients win at achieving their personal goals.
  5. Something you may not know about me, outside of work during Winter / Autumn seasons, I play semi professional basketball for the Stingrays (and historically the Supercats). I spend most weekdays training during this time and my weekends are spent travelling around Victoria playing other clubs.
  6. The number one thing I love about Davidsons and my career is the opportunity I have to connect to people (both internally and externally). I have made some life long friends from Davidsons and been able to help my clients grow and succeed over the past 7 years which is extremely rewarding.
