Experienced and personable CPA with a wealth of experience in helping agribusiness and business owners and Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF’s) in Esperance and surrounding regions. As Director for Smith Shearer Business Advisors & Taxation Accountants for over 15 years, I pride myself on continuing to grow the firm. We take a practical, hands-on approach and our clients trust us as their partner in business. We are considered to be a ‘one-shop-stop’ for our farming and business clients, who know that we will always go the extra yard to get results for their businesses. What I love about my job is solving problems for people, sometimes ones that they didn’t know they had, with the result of getting stronger financial results for their business.In addition to Smith Shearer, I am also a business partner and advisor to the MD for Rivershow Pty Ltd, the owners of Duckstein German Brewery & Restaurant, and am an authorised representative for Merit Wealth, providing SMSF advice to our SMSF clients. Having lived in Esperance over 2 decades, I know the community well and am able to give localised advice to clients based on personal experience. I’ve been the Treasurer and a Board Member of the Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School along with the Treasurer and Board Member of Ports Football Club, where I also currently coach the under 14’s team. I am on the steering committee for a local Not For Profit, Esperance Ag Fund, set up for local farmers to donate to community projects and those in need.
