The Pulse
An Accountant Who Is More Than Numbers. Lynda began her career in 1987 in sole practice. She always felt she had more to offer her clients than standard tax compliance. By developing deeper working relationships she was able to help business owners to see beyond a set of numbers to a bigger picture. Lynda also has a Graduate Diploma in Arts, majoring in Psychology. This helps her understand the blockages that prevent so many businesses from growing and achieving their potential. The combination of Lynda’s extensive accounting experience and her understanding of human behaviour gives her a unique position to help business owners achieve their personal and business goals. Outside of work, Lynda likes to spend time socialising with friends, going to the gym and exercising her dogs. Music is also a passion and for relaxation she plays the piano, goes to shows and concerts.
