carolyn Bouquet
Chartered Accountant
Carolyn has over 20 years of experience as an accountant, in which time she has worked in public practice, commerce and financial services. She started her career at a Sydney based chartered accounting firm where she gained a broad range of experience in taxation, superannuation and business services whilst completing a business degree from the University of Technology Sydney. She then went on to further her studies to gain qualification as a chartered accountant.
After 8 years specialising in public accounting, she decided it was time to broaden her horizon. So, she picked up and moved to the UK for a few years where she was lucky enough to have the opportunity to explore Europe as well as gain experience working for a U.S. owned medical company with offices throughout the United States and Europe.
After returning to Sydney, Carolyn continued to explore different roles and gained experience in both financial services, working for a boutique funds management firm, and in commerce working as a financial accountant for a multinational professional services entity.
She has recently returned to public accounting where she hopes to consolidate all the knowledge she has accumulated from her varied roles to help her clients. Her attention to detail and work ethic makes her a valuable member or the team.
She is passionate about travelling, exploring the world and food!
