What’s your job about?

I’m a Senior Analyst in the Melbourne Restructuring team. My team works on a range of projects, from formal insolvency appointments, such as voluntary administrations, receiverships and liquidations, to advisory-side engagements to help businesses, creditors and financiers dealing with financial distress.

During my time at McGrathNicol, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and workstreams, often covering a wide range of different industries. Some highlights include managing the day-to-day operations of a business under voluntary administration, assisting with a highly competitive sale process of a company and working with government bodies to investigate the potential misconduct and breach of duties by company directors.

How did you get to where you are now?

I studied a Bachelor of Commerce and majored in Accounting and Finance. I joined the firm through the Summer Vacation Program at the end of 2021, during my penultimate year of university. Upon completion of my university degree, I returned as a Graduate in 2023. Throughout my first and second year, I took on more responsibility in various workstreams and began completing tasks independently. This experience provided me with a solid understanding of Restructuring and equipped me with the necessary skills to apply for a promotion halfway through my second year.

What attracted you to McGrathNicol?

In university, I joined an accounting club which gave me exposure to many professional services firms who sponsored the club’s activities. Through my involvement, I came to know about McGrathNicol. Insolvency wasn’t a topic that was widely covered in my university studies, which piqued my interest to join as a Vacationer and learn more about the service line. Upon completion of various internships and when it came to choosing a graduate offer, the main factor that stuck with me was McGrathNicol’s culture. The people are what made my four-week program so enjoyable, and two years later, I can still say the same. I feel supported in my professional development through the guidance of managers and partners, and always have my graduate cohort to lean on when I have questions or concerns.
