Hey, I’m Ash!
A self-confessed numbers nerd with a perfectionist streak —
especially when it comes to getting results!
I joined Nova Business Professionals back
in 2008 as a bright-eyed bookkeeper, and today I’m a Registered Tax Agent and
Office Manager here in our Hamilton office.
But bookkeeping wasn’t always the plan…
Straight out of high school, I dove into the world of
fitness — studying to become a personal trainer in Sydney with dreams of
opening my own gym back home in Newcastle.
Passionate about health, dancing, and all things active, I
signed up for a bookkeeping course to help run my future business. But just a
few weeks in… I was hooked — not on running a gym, but on accounting!
Balancing books, tracking financials, cross-checking and
classifying transactions — it lit something up in me.
It wasn’t just a tool for business anymore. It was the
business I wanted to be in.
Fast forward to today, and I’m doing what I love every
single day: helping small businesses thrive through smart, precise financial
management.
At Nova, I manage client relationships, oversee our full
bookkeeping function (alongside the amazing Erin — you’ll meet her soon!), and
provide end-of-year support to local business owners who are passionate about
what they do, just like I am.
Outside the office, I’m a wife to one, mum to two, and
always up for a beach day or a quick getaway up the coast. I’m still dreaming
of learning to surf — one day!
Hi, I’m Erin – Bookkeeping Powerhouse & Admin Pro!
I joined the Nova BP crew in June 2025 and am so excited to be part of such a vibrant, forward-thinking team.
I’m a certified Xero Advisor and a bookkeeping powerhouse — ready to whip your accounts into shape and show those unnecessary expenses the door.
I look after all things admin and bookkeeping for our business clients, as well as keeping things running smoothly at our Hamilton office. With me managing your accounts, you can relax knowing everything’s under control.
Whether it’s lodging your BAS, managing payroll and superannuation, or ensuring your accounts are accurate and compliant, you can trust me to handle it with precision. I work efficiently to minimise costs and can adapt to meet your business’s needs at any scale.
When I’m not working alongside our wonderful Hamilton-based clients, I’m spending time with my little family — my son and partner — travelling the NSW coast and soaking up the sunshine at our favourite beaches. I also love walking, hitting a good Reformer Pilates class, and making time for the little things — like that first glorious coffee of the day.
Priorities, right?
