Ask Tom what the highlights of his 35-year accounting career have been and the answer revolves around helping organisations reach their potential - ensuring the sustainability of not-for profits, developing and guiding small business growth strategies and developing management reporting systems to guide the success of professional services firms.

With acknowledged expertise in strategic business planning applied in both advisory board roles and as a consultant, Tom has specialist industry knowledge of Cooperative Research Centres, real estate, and small to medium enterprises more generally.

ASSURANCE

Director, Assurance Services · Joined Lee Green in 2002 · Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) · Member, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand · Registered Company Auditor · Self Managed Super Fund Auditor

It's David's job to know where the money is - and its a job that's taken him to most States and Territories and places as remote as the Tiwi Islands and South Goulburn Islands in the Arafura Sea. (Who says auditors lead boring lives?) His expertise includes auditing Statutory Accounts for the private sector and not-for-profits; Outgoings, Trust Accounts and Self Managed Super Funds. David has particular expertise in the Aged Care sector.

He also applies his professional expertise on a pro bono basis as Auditor for the Cancer Care Centre and ACMA Foundation. He's a keen follower of Australian Rules footy through the Cove Football Club - and loves a spot of fishing!

There are times on life's journey when it pays to know where you are and where the risks lie. That's my role as a strategic accountant and as an auditor - helping organisations understand their current financial position, assisting reporting and governance, and providing the intelligence required to inform sound leadership decisions and mitigate risks.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ADVISORY

Founding Director - 1989 · Director, International Business · Bachelor of Economics · Member, CPA Australia · Member, Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand · Registered Tax Agent · Chartered Tax Adviser · Registered Company Auditor · Migration Agent

The world's getting smaller - and its in part due to the efforts of Lee Green founding director, Robert Lee. His specialist expertise in inbound foreign investment, property investment projects and project due diligence combined with his Migration Agent accreditation and strong links across South East Asia have opened new opportunities both for his clients and the Australian economy.

Robert spends much of his professional life on a plane, so it might surprise you to learn that in his spare time, he also likes to travel!

For me, life and business are part of the same amazing journey. What I learn in life, I apply to my business - and what I learn in business, I often apply to my life. That philosophy applies to my work as a strategic accountant. Transacting across borders requires an in-depth and wide-ranging knowledge of international law and regulatory frameworks. But that's not the interesting part. The key factor in bringing together a deal is trust - and that requires an intimate appreciation of different cultures, beliefs and behaviours.

TAXATION

Director, Taxation · Joined Lee Green in 2005 · Bachelor of Accountancy · Masters of Taxation · Member, CPA Australia · Member, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand · Registered Tax Agent · Chartered Tax Adviser

"In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." So wrote Benjamin Franklin in 1817.

Mike Sweeney has made a career out of the latter since 1992, earning a strong reputation for his work in biotechnology, property, wholesale, not-for-profit organisations and start-up businesses around Australia and in Singapore.

His particular professional interest? Developing strategies which build business growth. One of his most rewarding assignments - developing a successful business turnaround strategy for a company in the IT services sector.

Outside work, Mike is passionate about his family, movies and basketball. His community commitments have also grown from his passions. He's Deputy Chair of Basketball SA and Chair of its Finance and Audit Subcommittee, while also serving as a Board Member and Treasurer of Blindsports SA.

I believe that as a strategic accountant, my role is not just minimising tax. Rather, its about understanding your circumstances and objectives and developing and implementing practical strategies to get you where you want to go - both personally and professionally.

I’ve seen a broad diversity of cultures and communities in my professional travels – and know that communication is a common key to success. Communication is more than talking – it’s a two-way conversation. Listening, learning, exchanging knowledge to reach a common understanding of issues or opportunities is fundamental to my role as a strategic accountant.
