Ashley is a Chartered Accountant and member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors with vast experience in setting up and managing finance teams and prides herself in being a Jack of all Trades in Finance and Business.
She started out in the audit world at Grant Thornton where she gained international experience in South Africa, USA and Australia. Thereafter she spent the rest of her career in the Corporate world, learning the ropes of what it's like to be on the other side of the fence together with operating at the C-Suite level for a number of leading industry Startups. A few years later, she decided it was time to make a move and follow her true passion, which is to help as many businesses as possible achieve success, by contributing to the business using her financial expertise.
She believes in very simple yet effective solutions to managing the finance function and having been the product owner across a diverse business mix, she knows that investing in automation, alongside the right tools is key to the finance department's success and longevity.
Her other strengths include corporate governance, accounting advisory, strategy, leadership coaching, corporate structuring and tax planning.
Outside of work Ash loves to spend time in nature, be active and read anything she can get her hands on.
