Our Team

Directors

Adam Davies – Director

After starting my career with Leader Group back in 1998, it has been an interesting and rewarding journey rising through the ranks from Trainee Accountant to Client Manager and furthermore becoming a Director of the firm in 2018. I have lived and breathed the Public Practice arena and have formed many relationships with avast array of clients from varying different industries.
 
I have witnessed first hand the changes in our local economy over time and how it has affected local industry and our clients. I am proud to be part of this Leader Group team who is focused and dedicated to assist our clients wherever possible.
 
Although being a Director, I still take an active role in my Tax Compliance Management position here at Leader Group and my team can assist with your day to day tax compliance requirements, tax planning and tax structuring needs.
 
Outside of work, I have 3 young children to keep me occupied and when possible I love heading to the golf course for a relaxing (frustrating) round with clients or friends.

Stacey Gerhart – Director

Leader Group provides me with the opportunity to provide care to and build relationships with clients, associates, community organisations and my family. At the same time I am also able to utilise the knowledge and experience I have acquired over the years to assist clients in meeting their financial reporting obligations as well as assisting them in strategies for their future.
 
I started working at Leader Group in 2003 and purchased the business alongside my business partner Adam Davies in 2018. I currently assist clients with a variety of needs including preparation of Financial Statements, Income Tax Returns, Business Activity Statements, Business and Structuring Advice, Budgeting and Forecasting, and management and assisting with statutory requirements associated with Self Managed Superannuation Funds. My team is one of my main focuses and I try to mentor and develop their professional skills as well as maintain a personal relationship with each of them.
 
The balance Leader Group provides to me allows me to pursue the other interests in my life including spending time with my family and friends, travelling, gardening, reading, boating, fishing, camping and horseriding. I also enjoy assisting community organisations such as the Whitsunday Game Fish Club Inc through my role as Treasurer and supporting fundraising events to raise fundsand awareness for a broad range of charities and non profit organisations.

Team

Kristy Andrew – Client Manager

Leader Group has provided me an opportunity to create a career. I have developed a wide variety of skills in taxation and auditing. I am able to use those skills to provide valuable services to our clients.


I started working at Leader Group in 2003 after completing a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) in Mackay. I was born and bred in Mackay and travel back there on a regular basis to see family and friends.


My main role in the firm is to prepare income tax returns and business activity statements for various entities. I am also part of the audit team which undertakes audits of companies, bodies corporate and local clubs and associations.

Paula Mau – Client Manager

Originally from the Whitsunday region, I relocated back to the area and joined the team at Leader Group as an Accountant after completing a Diploma in Accounting. 


Prior to Leader Group, I was part of a large accounting firm working in Mackay and Brisbane. I enjoy working within a smaller firm that has many services to offer their clients as well as their personal approach.
 
My responsibilities currently include working within the Self Managed Superannuation Fund team, as well as completing Individual and Business Financial Statements, Income Tax Returns and Activity Statements.
 
In my spare time, I enjoy the great outdoors and spending time with family and friends.

Kadiesha Colley – Client Manager

After moving to Airlie Beach in February 2018, I started working at Leader Group and have since gained great insight into a career in accounting as it has allowed me to gain experience in a range of different areas. Over the next few years I hope to complete my CPA.


Outside of work I enjoy being with family and friends and being out on the water.

Chelsea Moore – Office Manager

I joined the team in 2012 and run the administrative side of the business as the Office Manager. My role ensures the smooth operation of the business and provides ongoing support to the accountants at Leader Group. Having worked in similar roles previously I have enjoyed the opportunities that Leader Group has given me as well as the existing team who have worked together for a long time.
 
My time away from the office keeps me busy with two little boys to run around after and when I get the chance I love spending my time in and on the water enjoying the beautiful Whitsundays.
