For 4 years she lived between Sydney, LA and NY, working closely with her husband in the music industry, and raising their three gorgeous children.
Jacquelyn has since realised that nothing makes her happier than an excel spreadsheet so, combining her intense love of music, she's found her dream job here at Moneypenny.
With her music industry knowledge, she's a natural with our clients from that arena, and has just completed her CPA.

Client Manager
Lauren is an accountant with a creative arts degree. What?
Not being able to decide between studying arts or business at uni, Lauren chose a B Creative Arts (International Studies) at Macquarie University, an arts management degree with a major in theatre.
After working in the arts, she realised that what all those creatives out there really needed was help with financial matters. Having a secret love of maths (shh don’t tell anyone), she undertook further study in accounting.
After leaving the arts industry for 2 years to consolidate her accounting knowledge at a mid-tier accounting firm in Sydney, Lauren has come full circle and is now comfortably combining both accounting and creative at Moneypenny.
In 2011, Lauren finally stopped studying after 9 years, and is now a Chartered Accountant.

Financial Controller
Trish has been working for Moneypenny as our financial controller for many years now and is an invaluable member of the team.

Hailing from New Zealand, Trish enjoys spending time with her daughter, Tinkerbell, and her trained parakeet, Taylor.

Administration
Marie joined the Moneypenny team in 2011 in the role of Administration Overlord. She has proven to be a valuable addition to the team, bringing with her a level of efficiency and common sense not before seen in these hallowed halls.
