Get to know Ellie.

How many years have you been servicing this industry?
I’m in the first year of my traineeship.

What attracted you to this industry?
I entered into this industry as it was a great opportunity for me personally career wise but it also gave me the chance to learn a whole new skill set while being able to see how it benefits the people around me, clients and colleagues alike.

What do you enjoy about this industry?
I enjoy being able to see how the hard work of the team gets the best result for people, how we can look for different approaches to solve the problems we encounter in order to find the best solution possible for the clients.

In your opinion, what makes Horizon Accounting Solutions different from other providers?
I do believe that what makes the practice special with clients is definitely how the practice keeps the client connection intact. Instead of just the initial point of contact to do tax work, there's always communication throughout the process so the client is aware, happy and included in what's happening and the decisions made.

Where do you find the most fulfilment in your line of work?
As I haven't done a whole lot of tax work, I find the most fulfilment in being able to assist the people around me the best I can. Like preparing a set of workpapers so when it's picked up it streamlines the process for who has to complete the tax return, or making sure all the data is ready and available for those jobs.

When you’re not working, what do you do in your spare time?
Outside of work I find I spend most of my time reading. While I do enjoy a variety of genres, I find I gravitate more towards crime and murder mysteries.
