WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT WORKING AT GEERSSULLIVAN?

GeersSullivan gives all of us a lot of exposure to different roles and allows you to grow and develop into exceptional business advisors. Even as a graduate you learn to complete tasks a couple of levels above you, under supervision.

WHAT KIND OF CLIENTS DO YOU PREFER WORKING WITH?

I like working with a range of clients across various industries – from small start-ups to larger businesses, charities and ASX-listed companies. I’m especially drawn to clients who are keen for us to be involved in growing their business and reaching their goals, and to be part of their journey is really rewarding.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HIGHLIGHTS FROM YOUR WORK HERE?

Seeing both our client base and firm develop and change, and evolving with them. Nothing beats working alongside like-minded people and seeing everyone work hard and grow. We’re a very close-knit team.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE?

I’m very passionate about using my skill set to give back, and as such I’m on multiple charity boards including the Stephen Michael Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Charities WA. There are so many wonderful organisations doing great work in the community and it’s a privilege to be able to contribute.

I also like trying new things, like horse-riding, stand-up paddle-boarding, motorbike riding. You name it, I’ve probably tried it!

FAVOURITE BOOK?

I’m an avid reader. Fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies… I’ll read absolutely anything, and I love going on people’s recommendations.

WHAT’S ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?

Retirement bucket list would definitely be following the F1 circuit for the year!
