Accounting and advisory is more than just putting numbers in the correct column, it’s taking time to sit with clients and listen to their hopes, dreams and grievances. It’s about gaining an understanding of what keeps them awake at night and formulating a strategy to help. Ultimately, it’s about building trust: trust that clients know you can be counted on. Hi, I’m Wayne: a long-term director with Nexia Perth. Trustworthiness, straight-shooting and plain English communication are my hallmarks. I work to understand the personal and professional ambitions of clients to inform personalised business growth, wealth creation, retirement and succession planning strategies. Whilst I specialise in tax, my knowledge is broad and skillset diverse. I manage a sizeable client portfolio and am often utilised by clients in a strategic advisory capacity. This is where my commitment to listening comes to the fore. I am well prepared, extensively researched and thorough. I am committed to acting with integrity, honesty and sound ethics. I am transparent and do what I say I will do. I believe in knowledge sharing and my leadership style lends itself to respect, kindness and positive reinforcement. I believe this mantra is reflected in my contribution to Nexia Perth where in conjunction with the organisation’s leadership, a vibrant, high-performing and work-life balanced culture has been established. I am a people person and for clients and staff, their happiness and success matters to me. If you find my profile interesting, please connect and get in touch.
