The principal, Nishan Senaratne is a public accountant and a registered tax agent.  Nishan holds a certificate in public practice from the Institute of Public Accountants, an accounting degree from Edith Cowan University and a post graduate degree in tax from Curtin University. Nishan has been in public practice for well over 10 years and prior to practice was in the corporate sector where he was the accountant at the Australian Medical Publishing Company in Sydney.

Nishan made the transition into public practice because he wanted to have contact with the public and take on more challenging and rewarding work.

‘In my accounting and taxation practice I have the opportunity to meet people from all sorts of occupations, industries and businesses. Unlike private sector work which can be isolated and quite singular in focus, public practice provides such an interesting work environment,’ says Nishan.

‘At the Kewdale practice we get background information about our clients at the interview stage so that we can research effective options that match their circumstances. Too many industry accountants rely on tax basics that they knew five, ten or even more years ago. In our practice we are constantly looking at new material and changes. There is a lot of advanced information out there.

‘We also like to look at interesting areas in the field of business. Tax legislation for ‘art’ in the workplace is a good example. Art creates great ambience and positive feelings in the office, workshop or factory. There are tax-deductible benefits here for business owners, plus art can be an investment and provide capital gains over time,’ adds Nishan.
