Our Accounting Division

Meet the team behind the magic… It’s all well and good to know that we’re epic accountants, but of course, we’re fully realised humans beyond that, too! We put together a little *something* about each of us to give you an extra little peak behind the curtain of The Accounting Division…

Name: Emma

Role at The Accounting Division: Director

1. What do you love about your job?
I love helping people. I get an enormous amount of satisfaction by listening to the pain points that people have in business and working with them to come up with solutions. It helps that we have the most incredible clients to work with!

2. What does a typical Saturday morning look like?
Walking to a local coffee shop with my husband and daughter for breakfast, and then back home to wash/iron/garden etc!

3. What’s your coffee of choice?
Almond latte!

4. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
A pilot! That all changed when I did work experience at Qantas and rode in a simulator (and spoke to some pilots) – it wasn’t as glamorous as I had imagined!

5. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Bite off more than you can chew, and then chew like hell.

Name: Quynh

Role at The Accounting Division: Senior Accountant

1. What do you love about your job?
After being in the accounting industry for nearly 8 years and dealing with various clients in different stages of the business life cycle, what I love about my job is learning new ways on how to best help them achieve their business goals.

2. What does a typical Saturday morning look like?
Honestly, majority of the time I’m in bed watching Netflix/YouTube trying to recover from Friday’s night out.

3. What’s your coffee of choice?
Cap with one sugar

4. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
I wanted to be a flight attendant as a kid, so I didn’t have to pay for flights and travel to different places.

5. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Do the things you want to do now and not later thinking you have time. Life can take unexpected turns, so enjoy your time now.

Name: Amber

Role at The Accounting Division: Practice Manager

1. What do you love about your job?
I love going the extra mile to help clients, building relationships and meeting goals. I really love watching our lodgement % go up throughout the year!

2. What does a typical Saturday morning look like?
Getting up for an early sunrise walk with my bestie, followed by a coffee and or breakfast as a reward for our early rise!

3. What’s your coffee of choice?
I can’t tell you why, but when I’m out I like a soy latte and if I’m making one at home, I just have a regular latte.

4. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
I always wanted to be a teacher – I was actually accepted into university for teaching at the same time I was offered my traineeship in administration at an accounting firm. Fast forward to today here at The Accounting Division, and I’ve never looked back, and loving it!

5. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Focus on what you’ve achieved and celebrate those wins – don’t get caught up in what you haven’t yet achieved!

Surprising you is our love language

You might think it’s quite odd for chartered accountants to be talking about love languages. And maybe it is, but frankly, it’s at the very core of everything we do. Once you’re part of the gang, you’ll see exactly what we mean…

We could just crunch the numbers and send you the report, but where’s the fun in that?! We’re proactive types, and we want to see you get further sooner, so we’ll go the extra mile to make that happen. Delighting you is the best bit of our day.

Sound like the change you’ve been looking for?

Extremely thorough, highly knowledgeable and always up-to-date
“I have been a client of The Accounting Division since starting up my small business about 8 years ago. From the beginning, Emma has been friendly, approachable with any concerns or queries and prompt with responses to calls or emails. She is extremely thorough, highly knowledgeable and always up-to-date with new developments from the ATO. She put me onto Xero accounting software which has made book-keeping much easier, faster and hassle-free. We have quarterly meetings to discuss how the business is progressing and a tax planning meeting before the end of every financial year which ensures there are no surprises at tax time. I am extremely grateful for her support over the years and would highly recommend Emma and her team to any individual or small business owner for their accounting needs.”

I never thought I’d actually enjoy seeing my accountant!
I’ve been a client of Emma’s for over ten years. Emma and her team are not only friendly and approachable, their knowledge and skill set puts me completely at ease. I never thought I’d actually enjoy seeing my accountant! Each time I leave I feel inspired for my next quarter. They are easy to contact and explain everything to me in terminology that makes sense.

Give them a go you won’t regret it!
I can’t recommend Emma Piccione and her wonderful team at The Accounting Division highly enough. When I started as a client with Emma let’s just say my books were in a mess. Emma has guided me gently and thoughtfully on best business practices and created order for me professionally. She is warm, friendly and genuinely cares about my business. I love our quarterly meetings to get an insightful overview on how my business is doing and what we need to change or adapt. Give them a go you won’t regret it!
