A valued and trusted advisor to her clients, Sharon’s qualifications include a Certificate of Public Practice (CPP), member of the Australia and New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (CA ANZ), Chartered Accountant (CA) with a degree in Business (B Bus).  Sharon started the business on the realisation that a lot of small and medium-sized businesses struggle with their accounts and pay people to do jobs they can do themselves if empowered with skills and training.

Sharon has a wealth of knowledge from being raised on a Waikato farm as one of five children.  Sharon learnt a lot from her late Father’s experience about economics and how weather, global demand and politics could impact on their farm. This unpredictability of livestock values, feed shortage and timing to buy or sell animals meant a cash flow was critical to enable decision making and the long-term survival of the farm.

CW Chartered Accountants now passes this experience and knowledge on to clients.  Sharon has experience from employment in the commercial sectors, dairy industry, foodservice and not-for-profits. This includes being a Registered Business Mentor of New Zealand and a previous Board Member and Volunteer Chartered Accountant for a Charity for dementia patients.
