Ann-Maree started her professional career with Deloitte in their audit division then with Hungerfords (now KPMG) in their taxation and business services division. The next part of her career was furthered in various commercial accounting roles, within Top 100 listed company Amatil Ltd.

This experience has strengthened her understanding of accounting systems and controls and enhanced her appreciation of the pressures and issues facing audit clients. Ann-Maree now uses the expertise gained in commercial accounting to assist clients in various business and financial matters.

Upon the retirement of Richard Robertson in 1989, Ann-Maree joined Robertsons Chartered Accountants, initially in business services undertaking a few small audits.

Her involvement in the audit division has been instrumental in its growth. Today this division services over 100 audit clients across all industry groups.

Sarah has a particular flair for assessing her clients’ business needs and providing recommendations that maximise opportunities for them.

In some cases, she actually manages the client’s finance department – a unique and quite privileged position because it requires a deep understanding of the business and its culture.

She has worked across multiple accounting software platforms, including clients’ customised software. She also understands governance practices and has been involved in the appointment of board members to a number of non-profit organisations.

Sarah works with clients to have an understanding of their business beyond purely financial matters so that she can assist them in all aspects of business. This commitment to her clients means that Sarah has a holistic approach to providing solutions for her clients to achieve their goals.
