Fleming Stojanovski

Group Chief Executive Officer

Considered by some as the Bear Grylls of the accounting industry, Fleming is infamous for being the only CEO to ever headlong dumpster dive in search of misplaced client records, he denies this of course; mysteriously the office cleaner has never been seen again.

Andrew Kady

Director

As a director at CAAA, Andrew heads up our Parramatta Practice, leading a team who are advocates for simplifying the financial affairs of the clients they serve, and fighting the battle against rogue accountants who give out poor advice.

Keith Wilson

Director CAAA Corporate Advisory

Experience in startups? Don’t get Keith started, he’ll never stop. His knowledge and advice to clients on how to successfully run, buy and sell a business runs deep. Proof of the pudding is has co-founded and launched two innovative new businesses in Australia: The 1st Mobile Virtual Network Enabler and Red Bull Mobile. Client turned Director, Keith heads up our Corporate Advisory business.

Keith Johnson

Director

Fondly known as our resident IT and excel guru, Keith is actually a Director specializing in Business Services. He is meticulously hands on. If he’s not in his shed making something out of various timbers, he’ s working through strategic planning sessions, business development strategies, and much more.

Joanne Pappas

Director

Penalty kicks. Back heels. Throw-ins. Dribbling. These are phrases that roll off the tongue for Joanne, not at work, we hope. Joanne heads up CAAA Sutherland as director, and she’s a mad Western Sydney Wanderers fan. Just like in soccer, strategic thinking, building effective working relationships and taking a proactive approach extending well beyond compliance, these skills always comes into play with Joanne and her client portfolio.

Fiona Tindal

Group Chief Operating Officer

What’s it like to be at a firm from the very beginning? Just ask Fiona. Fiona has been with CAAA since its inception. As her role as Chief Operating Officer, Fiona has listened to, developed and watched the firm grow from a single partner practice with one accountant, to the multi-disciplined, multi-partner and multi-location firm it is today.

Khurram Jivani

Director

Just how many Quentin Tarantino flicks can you watch? According to Khurram, never enough. When you can tear him away as a Director of CAAA, he’s focusing on a serious quest. To put a stop to simplistic, generic advice for sophisticated problems. Instead, he believes nuance and bespoke solutions are needed for sophisticated clients and issues.

Silas Chan

Director

With Silas, there’s Jamie Oliver, Marco Pierre White or Heston Blumenthal, his rather aspirational go-tos for dinner inspiration. He loves nothing more than to research cooking recipes, comparing and experimenting. A curious hobby, but this fascination with detail has helped him in a professional sense too; all the way to director of CAAA.

Michael Kuster

Director

Ferrari? Lamborghini? Maserati? Nuh. None of that for Michael. It’s a Porsche or nothing. Being obsessed with one of the world’s most brilliantly engineered cars says a lot about Michael and his role as a director of CAAA. For him, driving a Porsche anywhere, anytime is not only one of life’s great pleasures, but it brings the simplicity and synchronicity of things together in one fluid motion.

Marina Acosta

Group Marketing Manager

The thing with Marina is that she has so much belief. Sure they won 11 premierships in a row, but as a current St George Dragon supporter, it’s just tragic that she thinks they can win another premiership. She should simply stick to her fast pace role of Marketing Manager. At least at CAAA she gets the results on the board and is making a name for CAAA as a trailblazing, modern accounting firm.

David Cheng

Senior Manager

Now this is something that David gets a great kick out of. Planes. Trains. Automobiles. Not the movie from 1980s. It is about his passion in collecting and admiration of diecast models. He says it’s the fine detail and precision that holds his attention which also inspired him to apply the same standard in his daily work as Senior Manager at CAAA.

Ruzbeh Desai

Director CAAA Audit and Assurance

Infamous for preparing the most accurate of cash flow statements, by his own admission Ruzbeh sees financial statements even in his sleep, which is probably why he is the Director of our Audit and Assurance practice.

Tracey Sharah

Head of Superannuation

From owning her own practice, to broadcasting her own radio channel dedicated to discussing “all things SMSF”, Tracey not only has over twenty five years of experience, she understands how to deliver advice to clients in a language that makes sense to them.

Andrew Tang

Associate Director

A perceptive, tax professional with a love for resolving complex problems and challenges! Andrew holds a Bachelor of Business and is a full member of CPA Australia With over 25 years’ experience in professional practice Andrew believes that we only grow when we face challenges.

Peter Bray

Director

35 years’ experience in Public Practice and Peter still says his passion lies with working with his team to solve client problems! When you need someone to break through the moulds of red tape in your financial reports (with full disclosure), you want Peter on your team.

Richard Cox

Business Services Partner

With 45 years of public practice under his belt, Richard is a pro-active accountant who supports and mentors his clients through their business and financial journeys. Richard holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) and a believer that integrity and drive can replace the need for overly complex compliance work with good old fashioned advice.

Jeff Partridge

Business Services Partner

In a world of taxation jargon that few without accounting degrees understand, lies the clear cut, useful advice that Jeff and his team put together for clients every day. For over 40 years’ working with family businesses, high net worth individuals and not-for-profits, Jeff’s aim is to deliver timely strategies to his clients to help them do better in their businesses.

John Tsolakis

Business Services Partner

John has always had an admiration for the quiet achievers in life, such as those who receive awards for medicine, science and community service who do their job without fanfare or accolades. With over 45 years’ experience advising clients in public practice, much the same can be said for the work he does.

Graham Waterson

Group Accountant

With over 45 years of diverse experience spanning manufacturing, import, hospitality, IT, and accounting, Graham brings a wealth of knowledge to his role as Group Accountant at CAAA.

Chris Jones

Business Services Manager

Fi Masina

Business Services Manager
