31 Mar Welcoming former Big 4 Partner Kate Ahern to our leadership team
We are thrilled to have Kate Ahern on board as our newest Partner in our Tax and Business Services division.
Previously a Partner at Deloitte, Kate has 20+ years of experience in providing tax and advisory services to private clients.
She specialises in capital gains tax advice, tax structuring, and ATO engagement and management. Kate also supports high-net-worth families with wealth structuring, asset protection, intergenerational wealth transfer and succession planning.
Having spent most of her career in Sydney before returning to her roots in Canberra, Kate is excited about contributing to the local business community.
‘I’ve always been passionate about helping private clients – particularly families and their businesses – navigate tax complexities and achieve their financial goals,’ she says.
‘Joining a firm that is deeply embedded in this market felt like the right step for me.’
Drawn to BellchambersBarrett’s fast-growing environment, Kate looks forward to contributing to the firm’s continued expansion and mentorship.
At BellchambersBarrett, Kate will focus on supporting high-net-worth families, private enterprises and growing businesses – bringing fresh insights and expertise to our clients.
Jamie Lucas, one of our pioneering partners in Tax and Business Services, says the team is excited to have Kate on board.
‘Kate’s background speaks for itself,’ he says. ‘She has incredible experience working with large private clients and family groups. And we‘re honoured that someone of Kate’s calibre has joined our team.
‘We’re confident she will have a positive impact on our clients and our firm as a whole.’
