Originating from Bendigo in Victoria I ran my own accounting practice there for many years, however, wanting to follow the sun and the warm weather I decided to move to Queensland in 1993.
From July 2000 until joining Astute Accounting in 2024 I was a partner in another local accounting firm here in Cairns.
Having been in the accounting industry for more than 44 years my extensive knowledge allows me to specialise in assisting clients with their taxation and business accounting requirements.
I am a fellow of CPA Australia, and a registered self-managed superannuation fund auditor enabling me to carry out audits for incorporated associations, body corporates and self-managed superannuation funds.
I commit to providing a personalised service tailored to each client’s specific needs.
When not at work you will find me on my bike as I’m a keen cyclist and have been racing now for over 50 years. To prove that age is just a number I celebrated my 60th birthday by riding from Perth to Sydney and have also completed the iconic Land’s End to John O’Groats ride in Great Britain – a distance of 1407 kilometres and stretches the length of the UK!
5 star service Love the Astute North QLD team, especially Billie. Thanks for your honesty and financial advice… will soon have a home for our family 🙂
Morene Rumble helped my partner and I get our finances in order with a personal loan to start saving for a house. I would highly recommend Morene to everyone, she’s very easy to talk to, friendly and makes you feel very comfortable with any situation.
I found every time I rang the office with a query the phone was answered promptly. Gus and his team stayed in contact at all times either by email or phone just to make sure I had complete understanding of the forms I was signing and the procedures they were taking to finalise the loan. I was never left wondering what happens next.
After having issues with another broker and losing a settlement, we were recommended by solicitor. After speaking with Billie she was honest and open about my options. The entire process was dealt with promptly and efficiently with minimal to no stress.
I found the whole experience easy & everyone there were so lovely n friendly & also available any time to answer any questions we had.
We were recommended from friends to see Fei Chan to discuss buying investment property. He was very polite, friendly, sincere and honest. But most importantly, he has made it clearer for us on how to build our property portfolio for a better future. For that, I too highly recommend his service to others.
Simon Cody is a model financier… Courteous and talented… He’s an asset to the home loan industry
We have been using John since we bought our first house in 2008 and taken sound advice from him in all our finance dealing ever since; which has included, opening a business, building our second house and now purchasing an investment property. We trust the advice given to us and not understanding the finance world hugely rely on the knowledge given to us in making decisions. We thank Verena very much with her patience throughout each deal and her simple way of explaining the overwhelming fluff that the banks put on paper. Johns stickmen and drawings helped us immensely 🙂 We really feel like we have actually made some good friends when dealing with Astute.
