Experienced Chartered Accountant with a passion for retail. After a long and successful career in Corporate, Professional Services, I am looking forward to returning to retail which was my beginning and has always been my passion. Having been in Professional Services and Corporate Banking roles for a very long period of time, I realize that a return to retail would be at junior levels to start with.
Work History
Audit Manager
Strandbags; Pumpkin Patch and Dymocks
Ran significant retail audits such as all of the above. I developed wonderful relationships with the business leaders and all levels of accounting staff. Many of these relationships still exist. Supervised, directed and mentored numerous staff of my own team.
Worked in my father’s small family business from a very young age.
Worked behind the counter from the age of 10; assisted with stocktaking at 12 and the valuation of the business and my father’s ultimate exit when I had my degree at 19.
I have been told that I have a relatable and warm personality which is quite important all would agree in retail.
Provided relief for my beloved parents when very occasionally they could take a weekend off – and on occasion I would pay for them to go - from the three jobs I had at University – tutoring; a retail role: and a Hall Monitor role at the University at which I was a resident.
