As a Chartered Accountant who also holds a Diploma of Financial Planning, my passion has always been helping business grow. I worked as a business services adviser for more than 21 years and helped many businesses and their owners achieve their business and personal financial goals. Many of my clients were regional based business, property developers, construction companies, primary producers and mining services contractors. I have now had a career change to focus my efforts on growing one business – MCC Group. Established in 2017, MCC Group is a growing group of companies providing hands on construction and project management of complex and major mining infrastructure and maintenance. It also undertakes commercial, industrial, residential, concrete and civil works projects.As Chief Financial Officer, I work closely with the director, board of advisers and key management team to drive the strategic direction of the business. Being new to the role in a growing business, my focus is on establishing the financial systems, reporting and controls which form the foundation of successful continued growth. Although my main career has recently changed, I am proud to say that since 2010, I have continued to hold my position on the board of Bravehearts – a charity which aims to provide a coordinated and holistic approach to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse.
