  • Self-managed superannuation fund reporting and advice;

Melissa started in the accounting industry in 2000 and has experience across a large variety of business industries. Melissa took the plunge in 2006 to start Melissa Purnell Accountants.

Outside of work, Melissa enjoys hitching up the caravan and travelling with her husband Ben and two kids. She is also the designer and creator for SeaGrass Collections (www.seagrasscollections.etsy.com). And as existing clients will know…. Melissa also has a minor obsession with VW Kombis.
