Principal and Director.
Accounting, Business and Tax Expert.

Sarah’s love affair with accounting, business and tax has spanned nearly 30 years, and more than two thirds of that time has been at the helm of Addept. Since 1995 when she first joined the team at the original Flinders Street office in Adelaide, Sarah’s vision for Addept has been an accounting and business advisory firm that delivers service and expertise which goes above and beyond… so that you come to regard us as a valuable addition to your team.

As our Principal and head Chartered Accountant, Sarah continues to enjoy working hands on with Addept’s clients across the whole spectrum of personal and business arenas, including: start-up enterprises, small business, big corporates, agriculture, viticulture, property, investments, profitability, succession planning, estate planning, self-managed super (accredited SMSF specialist), aged care (accredited consultant) and every aspect of tax you could possibly think of.

Whatever she’s helping you with, it won’t take long for you to see the depth of knowledge, insight and passion that Sarah has for her craft… a supreme affinity for numbers that’s been nurtured in tandem with fierce determination to achieve ultimate client satisfaction. Sarah’s drive has stood us apart for more than two decades.

Senior Manager.
Skilled Professional.

Jo is a Chartered Accountant with over 25 years in the business of accounting, boasting beautifully well rounded expertise developed at home and overseas – with challenging roles in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, New York and London on her impressive resume. Her gritty exposure over the years to banking, finance, hospitality, IT, manufacture and agriculture makes Jo a wise and valuable asset across all these sectors. But more importantly she’s a shining example of a people-person who knows their stuff… just how we like it at Addept.

There are many things to admire about Jo, but if there’s one aspect to her professional make-up that adds a special touch to how she looks after you, it’s the business knowledge and know-how she’s acquired as an owner of her own wine company… the personal passion Jo has to see a good business succeed drives everything she does.

Jo also happens to be the one who makes things happen around here. Office manager, general manager, chief of staff… we haven’t really got round to giving a title to her organising, problem solving prowess. But that’s ok, titles don’t matter to Jo – she only cares about results.
