Hello, my name is Teresa Simmons I am the Practice Manager. I hold a Bachelor of Business with a major in Accounting. I joined CPA Australia as a student member in 1982 and became the President of the Young Accountants Group (YAG) WA, being admitted as a full CPA member in 1985. I successfully completed the CPA Program and the CPA Public Practice Program. I Joined the Western Australian Division of Divisional Council in 1990 and delivered part of the Public Practice Residential Program for 16 years. Having spent a number of years in public practice I migrated to the Information Technology sector.
I established ASK Consultants Pty Ltd an IT Consulting Practice dedicated to the needs of Accountants and the Legal Profession. After 25 successful years sold the business and returned to public practice.
How I can help you:
My role is to nurture the practice. I am responsible for the implementation of the Directors broad framework, providing accountability and ensuring that our day to day operations are well executed.
I hold the view that the Director/Partner/Managers in the practice are responsible for fostering solid relationships with our clients, mentoring to staff and promoting the practice to potential clients and providing the broad framework of good governance, accountability and appropriate culture.
My focus is to provide a holistic workable foundation to enable all team members to operate productively, deliver excellent service to clients, embrace change and enable our team to hold a clear vision for new opportunities and proactive recognition of potential threats for our clients and for our practice.
