OUR TEAM

Kerri-Leigh Beck

Director / Tax Agent

Allow me to begin with a heartfelt confession: my journey into the world of accounting was not a deliberate choice, but rather a calling that I wholeheartedly embraced. Starting as a fresh-faced receptionist with a willingness to seize any opportunity that life presented, little did I realize that this path would ignite a deep passion for the industry and a genuine desire to assist my clients in achieving remarkable success. Over the years, I dedicated myself to continuous learning, culminating in over 18 years of expertise in the realms of accounting, finance, and business. In 2016, a opportunity arose to acquire Roma Taxation Services—a chance I eagerly seized. This enabled me to share my vast knowledge with clients and colleagues alike, contributing meaningfully to various local industries. The journey hasn't been without its challenges, but the sense of fulfillment it has brought me is immeasurable. Today, I take immense pride in my work and relish the opportunities to learn and grow, both professionally and personally. My roots are firmly planted in Roma, where I have lived my whole life alongside my family. My partner Gene and I have been blessed with two beautiful children, Matilda and Archie, and the ability to raise them in the close embrace of our supportive community is truly gratifying. Beyond my professional endeavours, I actively engage in numerous local sports, including touch football, netball and clay target shooting. Moreover, giving back to the community is close to my heart, as I participate in local sporting boards and committees. Weekends are cherished moments spent reconnecting with friends and family, savouring the joys of togetherness and building lasting memories. In essence, I find fulfilment in embracing both my personal and professional roles as a contributing member of this vibrant community.

Jill Robinsen

Senior 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, I decided to embark on a 6-month trip (which turned into 2 years) exploring Australia with my 3 dogs in a Ute and a rooftop, which eventually resulted in 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 also held the position of Treasurer for 5 years. If I’m not at work, you can find me out, camping, fishing or hiking in our beautiful region with my family and friends.

Rebecca Stewart

Tax & Compliance Associate

I joined the team at Roma Taxation Services in January 2024, bringing with me over 20 years of experience in the construction industry across finance and administrative roles. My background also includes time spent working within an accounting firm, providing me with valuable insight into both the operational and compliance aspects of business and taxation. I have a particular interest in supporting clients within the building, construction, and agricultural sectors. Understanding the unique challenges these industries face allows me to deliver practical, relevant bookkeeping support that helps businesses stay organised, efficient, and compliant. Having lived on rural properties for the past 18 years, I recently purchased a home in Roma. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, decorating, and renovating, as well as spending quality time with family and friends. I also love a day at the races and have recently rediscovered my interest in playing golf after a long break from the game. Roma Taxation Services offers a friendly and supportive team environment, valuing collaboration, professional development, and a healthy work-life balance. It’s a rewarding workplace for both our team and the clients we serve.

Madi Smith

Client Service Associate

I grew up on the banks of the Balonne River and spent my early years in the small town of Surat before moving to Roma with my family. Since then, I proudly call Roma home, growing up alongside my three sisters. I graduated from high school, completing a Certificate III in Business, a Certificate II in Tourism, and a Certificate II in Hospitality. During my school years I worked in several of Roma’s local pubs and cafés, where I developed strong communication skills, confidence, and a solid work ethic. I valued this experience but was keen to challenge myself and explore new opportunities. In September 2024, I joined the team at Roma Taxation Services, marking the beginning of an exciting new career path. Entering an industry, I knew little about at the time was both challenging and rewarding, but with the support and guidance of the team I have quickly grown in confidence and capability. Since joining the firm, I have developed a genuine interest in the tax and business advisory field and is looking forward to furthering my knowledge through continued learning and study. I enjoy being part of the supportive team at Roma Taxation Services and am excited about the opportunities ahead
