Undergraduate Program
Everything has been running very smoothly since starting as a Junior Accountant with Brentnalls SA in January 2023.
I feel very included and supported by my team, particularly by my Manager.
I have enjoyed the learning and challenges that come with my role, along with the stability of regular working hours.
I have no regrets about joining Brentnalls SA!
Tiana Pellicone, Intermediate
Undergraduate Program
I applied for a junior accountant position back in 2006 and haven’t looked back! The firm supported my studies through university, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Commerce. Shortly after, I commenced my Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting and was admitted as a Chartered
Accountant in 2012.
My career progression was supported at every stage of my journey, moving through to equity ownership in the firm in 2015 and being appointed Partner in 2020.
Every day I come to work and can honestly say I love my job – my clients, our team and the Brentnalls SA family.
