Meet Veronique
A registered BAS agent who likes small businesses, tidy books and explaining things properly.
My story
A little about me
I arrived in Australia in 2008 and spent 13 years working as a research economist at the University of Western Australia. After years of working with numbers, I was ready for something a little more hands-on. I've always enjoyed accounting, so I completed a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping and spent two and a half years working in an accounting practice in Margaret River. That experience gave me a solid understanding of not just how to keep accurate books, but what happens to those numbers when they reach your accountant.
Why I started Thrive Ledger
I started Thrive Ledger because I wanted to work directly with small business owners and put my background in economics, accounting and business management to good use. What I love most is taking the bookkeeping burden off someone's shoulders, giving them the time and peace of mind to focus on what they do best. I genuinely enjoy seeing small businesses succeed, and knowing that I'm playing a part in their success makes my work incredibly rewarding.
Life in Margaret River
After travelling around Australia, Western Australia was easily my favourite state. I spent 10 years living in Perth before making Margaret River home, and I couldn't imagine a better place to live. I love being surrounded by nature, the relaxed lifestyle and the fact that I can get around without seeing a single traffic light! When I'm not working with numbers, you'll usually find me swimming in the ocean, walking the trails with my dogs or keeping active outdoors.
