Jacquelyn started as an accountant with Deloitte after graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce from ANU, but after 12 months, left it to pursue a career in marketing that spanned 10 years.

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.

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.

Justine joined the team at Moneypenny in 2011 and has proven to be a pleasant and valued member of staff. Justine has been working on a part time basis whilst completing her studies and looks forward to joining the team full time in the second half of 2012.

In her personal time Justine enjoys wind-surfing, origami, and the ancient art of Zumba.

Trish has been working for Moneypenny as our financial controller for many years now and is an invaluable member of the team. To some of our new members of staff, Trish is somewhat of an enigma, a riddle wrapped in mystery, as she is rarely seen in her Moneypenny office, much preferring to work from home.

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

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.

In her spare time, Marie enjoys base jumping, rollerblading and working with marzipan.

As the self-titled ‘Director of First Impressions’ at Moneypenny since October 2011, Ali has thoroughly enjoyed surrounding herself in the foreign world of finance and accounting.

Currently in the midst of trying to master a Master of Journalism, Ali loves nothing better than meeting new people and learning new and interesting things (including the meaning of the words “No Ali, hair straighteners are not tax deductible”).
