I’m Tim Blackburn and I’ve been an accountant for twenty years. I grew up in a family business environment on a farm in the South West where communication and working hard were the key ingredients in operating a successful business. This captured my interest in wanting to help others in business to achieve similar results and this passion has driven my career. I have worked with a range of different industries, business types and family groups who are all facing unique challenges. I help clients measure, manage and improve cashflow, enabling them to expand and develop their business to achieve their goals.
I love building relationships with clients. I love learning about their businesses, being a sounding board for ideas, helping to minimise their tax, maximise their income, guide their strategic planning and help them to develop their potential and achieve their goals. My team and I take the time to find out exactly what client’s needs and issues are and to develop proactive actionable strategies.
I have held leadership roles within CPA Australia, this is one of the major professional accounting bodies in Australia providing the leadership and support for over 10,000 members in WA. These roles were: President of the WA Division of CPA Australia in 2014 and Councillor of the WA Divisional Council of CPA Australia for 5. I’ve also provide fortnightly training support since 2011 to develop the future leaders of CPA Australia.
I invest in developing my skillset to continue to provide a very high level service and I like to give back to the communities that I am involved in. I have been an active member of Toastmasters since 2003 and have held many positions in Toastmasters over the years including Treasurer for the Western Australia District in 2011-2012 and President at CPA Toastmasters Club since 2011.
In 2014, I was appointed to the Board of Asetts as Treasurer and am also the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. I help drive the development of the strategic direction and also oversee the various initiatives implementation and financial management.
I have held a number of Director positions and am currently the Director for both the Russia Australia Commerce Centre and ScullySong Construction.
