Shannon is an absolute force to be reckoned with. She will bowl you over with her genuine energy and enthusiasm for every single thing she does. But don’t let her actually having a personality, her blonde hair or her blue eyes fool you – this woman is laser sharp and does not miss a beat – she was even appointed as an advisor to the Australian Government’s Board of Taxation. Shannon doesn’t just keep on top of the latest innovations and trends, on the Peninsula, she is THE pace-setting game changer. It was her initiative to open the first completely paperless, ergonomic and cloud based office in the area! In her spare time, Shannon lectures at Melbourne University on International Taxation and adores spending time with her two boys – helping out with any and every local school and soccer club fundraiser.

Since joining SMART Business Solutions back in 2014, Helen has enjoyed every moment and feels very privileged to be part of an awesome team. Helen has over 15 years experience assisting companies with all the financial and business requirements with the last few years becoming a Xero champion.

A long-suffering St. Kilda supporter, Helen also loves playing netball, watching Rugby, music (prefers vinyl over digital because ‘it sounds better’) and escaping to the outdoors, often travelling off-road 4WD and bush camping. She also enjoys spending time with family, friends and volunteering to beloved family football club in Bentleigh.

Helen is happily married to husband Craig and have just welcomed the arrival of their first child. Watch this space though, the waters are about to be tested within their trans-tasman marriage when they embark on their first parenting challenge, aside from nappy changes – does bub barrack for the All Blacks or the Wallabies?
