KERRI-LEIGH BECK

Director/Tax Agent

At the risk of sounding corny I’m going to open with, I didn’t choose accounting as a career path - accounting chose me & thank goodness it did! I started in the industry as the young fresh-faced receptionist who was willing to give anything a crack to get along in life. Little did I know at the time that I would develop a love for this industry and a passion for helping my clients achieve great things!

​

Fast forward to 2016 following a lot of hard work, study and dedication, the opportunity arose to purchase Roma Taxation Services and I grabbed it with both hands! With 15+ years worth of qualifications & experience in the accounting, finance and business industries to share with my clients & colleagues, this has allowed me to be a part of and contribute to a wide range of local industries. I have come out the other side learning from the experience and built my knowledge foundation to get me where I am today. I’ll be the first to admit that it hasn’t been easy, but it has definitely been rewarding! In short I love what I do, and I love being able to listen, learn and grow both in my personal and professional life.

I am a born and bred Roma local with my family and I all based here.  Gene & I have been blessed with two beautiful children, Matilda & Archie. I love that we can raise our children with our families so close to us and to be involved with many different aspects of this great community. I enjoy participating in many local sports including touch football, water skiing, squash and clay target shooting as well as being able to give back to the community by being a part of local sporting boards and committees. I thoroughly enjoy weekends spent catching up with friends and family.

LIANA LEARD

Client Services Assistant

I have almost 4 years total experience as a Client Services Assistant; however, I took a break from the industry for a few years where I pursued and built a career as a local Property Manager in Roma. Following the birth of my first child I decided to return to the accounting industry where I have now been working at Roma Taxation Services for almost a year and a half.

I am very passionate about my role as a CSA and enjoy the interaction with our clients on a daily basis. I am currently in the process of expanding my knowledge and enrolling to complete a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping.

I first made the move to Roma in 2012 from north of Brisbane - I am a city girl at heart but am enjoying the country atmosphere. When I am not working I enjoy spending quality time with my family and our animals. I also enjoy playing sport participating in a local Volleyball and Touch Football competition on a weekly basis!

Jill robinsen

Bookkeeper

My passion for finance first started when I was given the opportunity to change my focus within my existing CSA role in a Government Department to either Land Titles or Purchasing. I decided that the time had come for me to widen my finance knowledge and accepted a position as a Finance Assistant at a local Oil and Gas company, where I spent 2 years learning the basic of finance under a great mentor.

​

My parents own a small local company and became very busy with the height of the CSG boom within the community. So I decided to take a job opportunity to not only help my parents but broaden my knowledge some more. This is where I was first introduced to the program Xero, and fell in love.

​

Having lived in Roma my whole life, my partner, Tim and I decided to embark on a 6-month trip (which turned into 2 years) exploring Australia with our 3 dogs in a Ute and a rooftop, which we eventually upgraded to a caravan. During this time, I decided to take this opportunity and I plunged into studying a Cert. 4 in Bookkeeping with Open College of Accounting and Finance, where I graduated from in 2017.

​

In my off time I enjoy playing at our local Touch Football club in both ladies, where I play for a team that is sponsored by Roma Tax, and a mixed competitions. I have held the position of Treasurer her for the past 2 years. If I’m not at touch or the gym you can find me out, camping, fishing or hiking in our beautiful region with our family and friends.

Bec Duncan

CPA

Born and raised on a dairy farm, as a kid I always thought that I would become a farmer just like my Mum and Dad. It wasn’t until I discovered bookkeeping at high school that my life changed, not only did I find that this was something I loved I was also good at it. Straight out of high school I went to University and got my Accounting Degree.

​

I started working in my local area (Woodford, QLD) for an Accountant while studying at University and continued working in that firm for a further 3 years after I had finished my degree. I then made the decision to further my knowledge and moved to a firm closer to Brisbane, where I stayed for 6 years. During this time, I completed my CPA studies and was mentored by a fellow CPA. This was an amazing experience and to this day I still have a great relationship with my CPA mentor.

​

In April 2018 I moved to Roma with my partner, Mitch. My first employment in Roma was with the finance team at QLD Health which allowed me to gain experience of working in a large organization. After only being in Roma for about a month, I found out I was pregnant.

​

Fast forward to January 2019, I gave birth to our first son, Maddox at Roma Hospital, and the services offered by the hospital were amazing! After 6 months maternity leave, I gained employment here at Roma Taxation Services where I currently work two days per week. I love that my work is very flexible and allows me to have a great family work life balance. I love the fact that we live in a great country community and I look forward to getting to know more faces while raising my children in the Maranoa area.
