Roger welcomes Helen and Wajih to the Essendon Accounts & Tax team

As we continue to support businesses at every stage of their journey, we're pleased to be growing our team. Bringing in new expertise means we can continue to offer the clear, practical support our clients rely on while ensuring you always know where you stand.

We're delighted to welcome Helen and
Wajih to the Essendon team!

Together, they bring specialist knowledge that strengthens the services we offer and allows us to support clients in even more ways. Their appointments also reflect our commitment to building a team that works closely together, sharing expertise to deliver the best possible experience for our clients.


Introducing Helen

Helen Beaumont joins us as our Tax Consultant, bringing a wealth of specialist tax knowledge to the team. As part of this exciting development, Essendon Tax Consultancy is now joining with Essendon Accounts & Tax, creating a more joined-up service for our clients.

By bringing tax consultancy and accountancy together under one roof, we're able to offer wider support while keeping everything clear, organised and properly handled. Whether you need day-to-day tax advice or more complex consultancy, Helen's expertise helps us provide practical guidance that's tailored to your business.


Introducing Wajih

We're also pleased to welcome Wajih Kahn as our new Accounts and Audit Director. With extensive experience in accounting and statutory audit, Wajih further strengthens our ability to support businesses at every stage. His expertise allows us to introduce statutory audit services alongside the accounting support our clients already know and trust.

Alongside expanding our services, Wajih's primary focus is on delivering an excellent client experience, helping businesses feel confident that their finances are in safe hands.


As our team grows, our commitment remains the same: to bring clarity, keep things under control, and provide the ongoing support that helps businesses move forward with confidence.

Until next time ...
