I have more than 25 years of experience in audit, assurance, and transaction advisory services. Having trained and qualified in London, I have gained experience serving a broad range of clients and industries across different jurisdictions.

Prior to joining SW, I was an Audit Partner at a boutique firm in Sydney. Before that, I spent several years as an Audit Principal at a top-five firm. I am a Registered Company Auditor with extensive experience providing audit and assurance services to clients ranging from single entities and growing private groups to subsidiaries of large multinationals, international groups, and publicly listed entities.

My clients represent a diverse cross-section of industries, giving me significant depth of experience across the property, manufacturing, mining, technology, financial services, retail, hospitality, entertainment, and media sectors.
