About the Presenter:

Kathy Tung - Account Manager - Accounting for Good

Kathy is a qualified Chartered Accountant with CFO experience in both the not-for-profit sector and public practice. She is an experienced and trusted pair of hands – taking care of the technical details so that change makers feel supported to focus on doing the work that drives them. Her focus is on managing risks, stewarding clients through big decisions and streamlining processes to ensure reliable and useful information for clients.

“I’m just so energised by the exciting things that people are doing out in the world and doing what I can to support them through that journey and empower them with their finances. When a client has that ‘Ah-hah!’ moment and all the pieces suddenly fall into place is so satisfying.”
