Why We Love Our Work

Starting as a graduate accountant with Callaghans in November 2002. Justin’s technical skills saw him become one of the firm’s partners in July 2010.

Justin is committed to building long lasting relationships, delivering outcomes, and implementing solutions that work to assist in generating wealth.

In his spare time not reading the Master Tax Guide Justin and his family can be found hitting various sports grounds around Canberra and heading out on their bikes to explore the Canberra region.

Kylie started with Callaghans as a starry eyed young undergraduate while still at university in 2001.  Since that time, her enthusiasm for tax has not waned (do not invite her to dinner parties), and she is now well versed in all areas of Callaghans, most of which she has worked in at some stage over the years.   Kylie became a partner of Callaghans in January 2017.

Kylie specialises in individual taxation including advice relating to investment properties, capital gains tax, salary packaging and estate planning. 

She loves being able to work personally with clients and see the rewards of collaboration and tax effective planning come to fruition. 

When not watching spreadsheet videos, Kylie spends her time with her adopted retired greyhound, on a volleyball court or finding great walk and coffee spots around the Canberra region.
