The new, expanded team at Joe Oram & Associates are looking forward to continuing to work with existing clients as well as welcoming new clients with our increased capacity

I graduated with my Bachelor of Business back in 2004, but only started working in the tax accounting field in 2006 after taking a bit of a working gap year after my university graduation Since starting in the Tax Accounting field, I tried my hand at Management Accounting for two years between 2011 and 2013, before ultimately realising that Taxation Accounting is where my passion lies

At this time, the former business owner, Joe Oram, was looking to hire another accountant, so I applied for the position and was successful, starting in June 2013 with the firm During 2014 Joe decided that he would like to retire from accounting and follow his passion in farming At this point in time he offered me the opportunity to purchase the business from him It was an offer I could not pass up In October 2014 the business sale was finalised and I haven’t looked back!

Joe Oram & Associates Owner

I am really fortunate to be supported by an amazing team who help make sure the business runs smoothly so we can all look after our fantastic clients every day Without them being willing to sacrifice time away from their families, I would not be able to do what I do, and keep a smile on my face

Prior to working as an accountant I have worked a variety of roles in fast food, cafes, retail  and the tourism industries, all of which gave me a set of skills that have helped me in my role as an accountant today

I joined Joe Oram & Associates in 2011, and have seen the restructuring of the business after Joe and Helen retired and sold the business to Mandy in 2014

After a few years as a Receptionist in a job share role, the full time position of Office Manager was offered to me when Mandy took over,which I gladly accepted

I enjoy the work environment here, with our different personalities we have many laughs and like to keep the atmosphere friendly and casual with our clients Mandy is very mindful when it comes to creating an environment that has a healthy work / life balance, considering the majority of us are working mums the flexibility Mandy affords us is greatly appreciated, and is one of the major bonuses of working here

I commenced part time employment with the Joe Oram and Associates team in February 2013 in a job share position as an administration assistant Our office had a smooth transition when Mandy Wallace purchased the business from Joe Oram in 2014

Throughout my working life I have enjoyed working in a professional office environment with a variety of responsibilities and tasks offered I have the benefit of working with our friendly team of co-workers It is a pleasure being the first point of contact for our clients and to assist them with their taxation needs

After leaving school I began working full time as an Office Junior and Receptionist for a local Solicitors’ office Within 12 months I had commenced working as a legal secretary I worked for two Solicitors firms over a period of approximately 9 years I then commenced part time work as a secretary for a local valuation firm for approximately 12 years I have over 20 years experience as an administration officer and I am fortunate in that I have enjoyed all my positions in a variety of offices during my working life

I joined the team at Joe Oram & Associates in October 2021 in a job share position as a administration assistant Prior to this opportunity I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at home and raise my three children and get them ready for their schooling years

In the time since completing school, I have worked in many roles including administration, customer service and even food processing roles In 2021 I completed the STEPS program to enable me to enter into my first year at university to complete a Bachelor in Nursing degree

I thoroughly enjoy working with the small team we have here at Joe Oram & Associates, each day brings something new I find it easy to build a great rapport with our clients and I share daily laughter with the ladies in our team
