Julie has a wide and diverse experience in the accounting profession and especially in that of the primary production industry. Marrying into a farming family has provided a greater appreciation and understanding of this industry sector, farming in livestock and broad acre cropping. Her experience in rural Australia has enabled a greater understanding of the needs and wants of micro to small business. Such an understanding allows the provision of a high standard of professional advice and service to clients on a personalised basis.


Although working in and on the Practice is of paramount important, Julie is actively involved in the Edenhope Community including holding office in both the Henley on Lake Wallace Incorporated and Vision and Voice of Edenhope. Julie is also actively involved in the Edenhope and Apsley Football Netball club and loves to spend time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Since this times she has consistently studied to obtain Certified Practising Accountant status in December 2014. Rebecca brings a youthful business and technological presence to the firm. Her passion is to ensure that start up businesses develop good accounting, record keeping and business sense at the commencement of the business rather than later. Rebecca is based in our Edenhope office, but enjoys getting out and attending our branch office in Nhill on a Friday.


In her spare time Rebecca plays netball for the Edenhope Apsley Netbal Club and you can always see her pounding the pavement around Lake Wallace. Rebecca enjoys travelling nearby and abroad, although has been restricted by study commitments. Nowadays Rebecca is very content spending time with her family and enjoying a little spare time now that she is a CPA.
