Professional profile

I am a driven and experienced accountant with a robust background in both accounting and retail industries. With a strong foundation in accounting principles, Microsoft Office Suite, and tax compliance, I bring a wealth of skills to my role. I have 5 years of international experience in accounting, having started my career in Australia in July 2022, where I have since specialized in tax compliance, Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs), and client-focused financial services. 

Currently on the path to achieving my CA ANZ qualification, I hold a Master of Professional Accounting degree. I am highly adept at working under pressure, problem-solving, and collaborating within teams to meet critical deadlines. My keen ability to quickly adapt and learn new concepts, paired with a forward-thinking mindset, allows me to offer an enthusiastic and proactive approach to my work. 

In my daily role, I manage tax compliance for SMSFs, ensuring adherence to regulations and the timely submission of tax returns. I prepare and lodge individual and company tax returns, conducting thorough reviews of financials, deductions, and capital gains. I am skilled in collaborating with clients to gather necessary documentation while ensuring accuracy and compliance with tax laws. I liaise with regulatory authorities such as the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to resolve any tax issues or audits. Additionally, I utilize Xero software to manage payroll, prepare BAS, and generate financial reports, reporting directly to the Director and maintaining strong communication with both colleagues and clients via email and phone. 

I am committed to professional growth, staying informed on changes in tax legislation and SMSF regulations, ensuring my continued expertise in delivering top-tier service to my clients. 

Personal profile

I’m an active, adventure-seeking person who believes in making the most out of life—whether that’s by trying new outdoor and indoor activities or indulging in my favourite hobbies. Pilates has been my go-to for the past 8 years (who knows, maybe one day I’ll be leading the classes as an instructor!). I’m a huge fan of Roger Federer (because let’s face it, he is the GOAT) since I was 15, and I’m always itching to pick up a racket and play. I’ve even made it to the Australian Open, and my dream is to tick off all the grand slams from my travel list. 

Speaking of travel, I’m always up for an adventure. Europe is calling my name this year, and my love for exploring is matched only by my curiosity about new cultures. I’m currently trying to learn Spanish, because, let’s be honest, it’s the fourth most spoken language in the world—could be useful, right? 

When I’m not globetrotting or working on my Spanish skills, I’m hanging out at the beach, catching up with friends over good food and drinks, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. I’ve dabbled in surfing before and can’t wait to ride the waves again. Also, I’ve recently started playing golf, and I find it surprisingly interesting—might just have found a new hobby to dive into! 

I’m easy-going, have a good sense of humor, and love to care for those around me. I’m definitely a dog person—because let’s face it, who wouldn’t want a loyal companion for all those adventures? Life is short, and I’m all about making it as fun and fulfilling as possible!
