“My passion is to build solid relationships with small and medium business’ and to help them understand their financial reports. This will ultimately give them a better understanding of the performance and financial health of their business, thus enabling them to realise the true potential of their business. I can help with any stage of the business cycle from setup and structuring, software setup, advice on growth including budgets/forecasting, tax minimisation, and preparing for retirement.”

“I’ve been a Sunny Coast local my whole life, I love seeing local business grow and succeed and will support local whenever I can. I’m a huge basketball fan and play socially once a week. I also enjoy a round of golf, especially if it gets me out of the office to network with like-minded business people and potential clients. In my downtime I like hanging out with my son and take in every moment I can while he is still little”.

“My experience includes structuring, payroll tax, large family groups and I have helped many small to large businesses overcome unique issues faced by each of them. My favourite part of accounting is management & cashlow reporting. This is largely due to the clarity this can provide in decision making and business strategy. I aspire to help all clients achieve their financial goals and to be as efficient and profitable as possible.”

Office Administrator/Marketing Manager

“I am a creative at heart, I will jump at the chance to help clients with any creative/marketing type questions. Prior to working full time with Avoda, I worked in admin, marketing & graphic design for 7 years, this helped me to develop my web/graphic design skills further and also master xero. Aside from loving all things creative, I enjoy assisting clients with any xero questions they might have, and feel accomplished when they come out the other side and fully understand the program! I have also recently launched an Amazon business which has so far been a success, I love helping & encouraging clients to start their eCommerce journey and answer any questions they might have.”

“I am passionate about fitness & being healthy, I am obsessed with CrossFit & pilates and try to attend most days! On my rest days I will take our son to the park or take our dog Nala for a walk where both children (human & fur) can burn off some energy!”

BA Arts (Sociology), BA Commerce (Accounting), Grad Dip Arts Management, Cert IV Bookkeeping with over 20 years of experience in project management in the arts, education and charity sectors, including 7 years as a General Manager for a youth theatre company in Melbourne.

“I’m new to the field of public accounting, but not new to paying close attention to the Accounts. My years of experience managing budgets has taught me how important good financial management is to the success of small businesses. For the last two years I’ve been focused on bookkeeping and honing my skills in Xero. Avoda is an extremely organised and efficient business and I’m delighted to be working with such professional staff who take great care and attention to serving their clients.”

“I have lived in six different states and territories in Australia as well as Germany, so you could call me an ‘adventurous type’. I have a dog I call Ragnar, a boat I call Shield Maiden and a husband I call Sven. But my most unusual claim to fame, and the one I may be remembered for most in the end, is my precision to reverse parallel park in one move. On my tombstone it might just have to say ‘another-perfect-parallel-park’.”
