Our Account Managers

Below are profiles of the account managers.

The managers and partners are supported by a dedicated team of professionals and support staff.

Trevor Hamer B.Ec. C.P.A. - Manager

Having completed a Bachelor of Economics at Sydney University in 1987, Trevor worked with various Chartered Accountants until leaving to work in the commercial field. During this time he qualified as a Certified Practicing Accountant (C.P.A.), and returned to Chartered Accountancy in 1991.

Trevor joined us in March 1996, and is currently a manager, responsible for the business and taxation affairs of a number of our larger clients. He maintains our computer network and software programs, and has a good working knowledge of most 3rd Party Accounting and Tax Software.

Away from the office, Trevor plays competition-level tennis, and is a keen follower of Rugby League (especially the Parramatta Eels!), and most other sports, but probably spends a little too much time in front of his home computer system.
