John is a highly experienced and professional accountant with more than 30 years in the industry. After gaining his qualifications, John developed his career in the Adelaide offices of the Taxation Department (now known as the Australian Taxation Office, or ATO for short). This was invaluable experience and convinced John that his future lay in Public Accounting & Taxation work.
