Ilse brings over nine years of accounting industry experience to her role as a bookkeeper at Oceania Public Accountants, which she started in 2021.

She thrives on the variety her role offers, from managing bookkeeping and payroll to preparing financial statements and tax returns, always seeking new ways to expand her professional skills.

Initially drawn by the vibrant work culture and sense of community offered by a small, local firm, Ilse has found a place where her dedication to excellence can truly shine.

Throughout her career, Ilse has developed an unwavering attention to detail and a voracious appetite for knowledge. The most valuable lesson she’s learned is the importance of asking questions and actively seeking information to achieve professional growth and exceptional client service.

For Ilse, the ideal weekend is full of warmth and connection—a pizza night at home, morning walks with her children and dogs, catching up with friends, and a relaxing Sunday lunch with family.

Born in South Africa, with a youth spent in the Isle of Man and an 11-year stint in Brisbane, Ilse was drawn to settle in Australia by its lifestyle and her family ties. Her passion for travel frequently takes her to new and exciting destinations. If she could choose a superpower, it would be teleportation—for the sheer joy of instantaneously visiting friends around the world.
