about Elizabeth

Over 7+ years, Elizabeth (Liz) has carved a niche for herself deciphering the intricacies of Australian income tax laws and demystifying their application to clients in a way that makes sense to them.

Working predominantly with SME clients across a diverse range of industries, Liz takes pride in not only being a legal advocate for her clients but also a trusted advisor. Liz empowers clients to navigate the challenging tax landscape and gives them the knowledge needed to actively contribute to decisions that shape their businesses.

Liz also works closely with accounting practices, providing a service that bridges the gap between accounting and the law in most areas of direct taxes, including cross-border issues, internal and third-party merger and acquisitions and trusts. Her specialties lie in areas such as income tax consolidation, employee share schemes and tax effective structuring (such as retention of ABN restructures).

Liz understands the impact that tax laws can have on the livelihood of her clients. This understanding forms the core of her approach, ensuring that her guidance goes beyond tax technical answers and aligns with the real-world challenges faced by businesses. She has built her reputation as a trusted advisor within the tax industry and in 2023 was listed as the Tax Institute’s Tax Trailblazer for Queensland. Macpherson Kelley’s tax team are also listed in Doyles Guide 2023 as a Recommended Tax Law firm.

Liz is currently completing a Master of Laws (Taxation) at the University of Sydney.
