On a day-to-day basis, I efficiently handle the ongoing accounting and administration requirements our clients’ SMSFs. I complete financial statements and tax returns, as well as organise independent audits at the end of the year.

Paul Tierney

Senior Advisor

paul@advancedwa.com.au

Hello, my name is Paul and I was extremely fortunate to join the wonderful team at Advanced Accounting and Advisory in July 2016 as their Senior Tax Manager. I have a Bachelor of Business with a major in Accounting and Finance. My studies have also included completing a Diploma of Financial Planning. This enables me to provide clients with advice for their Self-Managed Superannuation Funds.

How I can help you:

I am a Certified Practicing Accountant and Chartered Accountant and have worked in public practice for the past twenty plus years. I have many years’ experience advising a diverse range of clients in the areas of taxation, accounting and business development to help people to achieve their financial and lifestyle goals. This includes assisting clients with strategic, succession and estate planning solutions to achieve the outcomes and certainty required for their future and that of their family.

My professional career included twelve years as a partner in a two-partner accountancy practice in Perth, so I appreciate what is required to run a business and the importance of receiving quality and timely advice to help make those important decisions. Being part of the team at Advanced Accounting and Advisory gives me the opportunity to be involved in truly making a different to people’s lives through a passionate and professional approach tailored to individual circumstances.

It’s always great to get the chance to talk to clients and to be one of their valued advisers which is why I feel very fortunate to be part of the Advanced Accounting and Advisory team.

MORE ABOUT ME

Originally, I grew up on the family farm in Bindi Bindi, approximately two hours north of Perth. I moved to the city for high school (boarding), my wife always says you can take the boy from the bush, but you can’t take the bush out of the boy and my obsession with weather channels and the Bureau of Meteorology website certainly stem back to my family’s farming days.

When not at work I love spending time with my wife Rachel and two boys; Luke and Tim, who help give me great perspective of what life is all about. I really enjoy playing a round of golf on the weekend (usually very badly but always great fun) if the opportunity arises.

Troy Tatam

Director

ca, ssa, dfp

troy@advancedwa.com.au

Hello, my name is Troy and I am the Managing Director of Advanced Accounting and Advisory. I hold a Bachelor of Business with a major in Information Systems and Electronic Commerce and a Graduate Diploma of Professional Accounting. I am a member of the Certified Practicing Accountants (CPA), a SMSF Specialist Adviser with the SMSF (Self-Managed Super Funds) Association and have a Diploma of Financial Planning.

How I can help you:
I am focused on helping clients achieve success in business and happiness in their personal lives through a healthy work/life balance.

My key role at Advanced Accounting and Advisory is providing strategic growth and direction of the business to enable us to provide the best services we can to our clients.

As an SMSF specialist and licenced accountant I work closely with our trustees to navigate the many pitfalls of SIS legislation while identifying strategic opportunities to grow and protect their retirement nest eggs.

I am passionate about providing support to our business clients to help them build a better business that works for them, not the other way around. By providing direction and accountability of action for our clients I want to ensure they have every chance to grow and succeed in business. I am a big believer in the saying, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”

MORE ABOUT ME

Away from work I am a passionate, long time West Coast Eagles member and footy fanatic. I enjoy golf when time permits, which isn’t as often as I would like.

I have followed the sport of kings since I was a teenager, tagging along with my father to the racetrack. Through many small part ownerships of mostly unsuccessful racehorses it has ensured I will never indeed be a king in this sport. I am a proud father of a young boy and girl, who keep me busy away from work. I enjoy relaxing holidays with my family somewhere in the sun and sand.

I love talking to clients who share the same passion in business and I hope to be able to support you on your journey.
