As we grow each year, they’re always on top of new legal changes/requirements and helping us profit/minimise exposure from them.

CA, B.Bus, Grad. Dip. FPDirector
As founder and Managing Director of BSC Business Advisors and Chartered Accountants, you can rely on me and my Team to provide you expert and strategic accounting that helps you make better business and personal financial decisions. You, your business, and the security of your family’s assets are at the heart of everything we do.
Without the right holistic taxation, you and your family could be at significant risk. In almost every new client referred to me, I see how their personal wealth may be adversely at risk and provide business structuring advice to avert this. I also assist clients with effective tax planning strategies to help grow their wealth.
I believe that you need up to date advice and information about the potential outcomes of any accounting or financial decision you are considering before you make the decision. Our clients are often surprised by the options they do have when we consider the different scenarios in real terms which creates certainty for them about the best way forward. This is why we do what we do.
If you have outstanding tax returns for personal, business or SMSF’s over multiple years, just ask us, we are expert at helping you to pull it all together and get you back on track.
As a Chartered Accountant, I offer you personally over 30 years’ experience in one to one advice to business owners and individuals in the complex areas of business, taxation, business and personal structuring, personal wealth, superannuation and SMSF. My Team has over 50 years in professional advisory.
When I’m not advising clients, as a self confessed snow skiing addict, I love a full day of competitive skiing with my family and friends. Afterwards, we sit back in the lodge at night over dinner and talk about the best run of the day, the biggest crashes and the funniest falls – snow skiing is just fantastic and I recommend it to everyone!

As the in-house SMSF Expert here at BSC, I spend my time advising our clients on their options and keeping up to the date with the ever changing information needed to provide the best SMSF advice possible. I am genuinely interested in accounting, tax and the SMSF vehicle as an effective tool for long term investment and it complements the holistic accounting provided to our clients. I started professional life as a nurse and spent time as a spinal injuries specialist and then running the Enterostomaltherapy Department at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Both roles required me to advise patients and doctors on progress and the many options available to them (the management of one of our cases was featured in The Lancet, the world’s leading Medical Journal).
As a mature age student I discovered tax and accounting – and I was hooked! I completed a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) and have been eagerly working as a SMSF adviser and tax accountant ever since. I equate my nursing experience very closely with my accounting role and really enjoy working with people advising them on their options and helping create best outcomes for them by accessing the holistic advice delivered here at BSC.
