Tony OlsenDirector I joined Flor-Hanly in 1995. I work with a wide range of clients including businesses, professionals, primary producers and self funded retirees. I am passionate about the need for clients to plan where they are going in life – both with their business and personal lives, to see the “big picture” and to focus on achieving their goals. Hailing from a grazing and grain property in the Wandoan/Taroom district, I have a special affinity with primary producers. My wife Emma and I and our three boys operate the Lindley Park Brahman Stud on our properties at Kuttabul and The Leap near Mackay. |

Daneal AndersonSenior Accountant After taking a number of years off to have a family, I appreciate the team culture of Flor-Hanly and the focus on professional development. I have worked remotely from Brisbane for many years now. I love the flexibility this gives me to support my family's goals and still pursue a career I enjoy. The respect and care that is shown to each staff member, regardless of their position, makes coming to work very enjoyable. This allows me to perform at my best for clients knowing that we have a strong and supportive network to call on if necessary. My favourite quote is by the Dalai Lama – “Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.” |

Hannah JarrettSenior Accountant Born and raised in outer Brisbane, I spent my childhood 4WDing and camping with my family. Following in the steps of my mum – a high school accounting teacher – I grew to develop an interest in numbers and analysis, and a passion for helping others. I completed my Accounting Degree at QUT and worked in business advisory and superannuation for a number of years in Brisbane accounting firms before joining the Flor-Hanly team. I work remotely from Brisbane, an opportunity I never thought would interest me until COVID hit and reminded us all about what really matters. I love the lifestyle remote work affords me – more quality time with my friends and family, and more time to enjoy my hobbies which include playing music, adventuring outdoors with our staffy, and travelling. I’m so grateful that Flor-Hanly creates a supportive and connected team environment to allow me to continue to achieve my career goals while enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle. While my tax experience is predominantly in small business professional service entities, Flor-Hanly has enabled me to broaden my knowledge into the primary production space. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and have shared with me first-hand experiences of working in Agribusiness, so I have been fortunate to gain a true understanding of the industry beyond just the numbers. I also have a strong interest in self-managed superannuation, which I specialised in for a year. Superannuation law is ever-changing and continues to be a challenging and engaging area of tax. I love being able to combine my business advisory experience and superannuation skills to provide all-round support to my clients. |

Jessie PeggUndergraduate I grew up on large cattle stations West of Clermont, moving a lot during my childhood due to my parents running a helicopter mustering operation. Eventually though, we settled on a small cattle property south of Bowen, where my family now has a mixed herd of Droughtmasters, Brahmans and Santas, plus mustering horses and Mum’s special herd of Speckle Parks. As an added bonus, it backs onto the ocean, so we also have fishing and crabbing, much to my brothers’ delight. As for myself, I am set to complete my Bachelor of Accounting through CQUniversity in 2023, eith only one unit left to complete. Next year I plan to begin my CA qualification. My hobbies after work include reading, cooking and horse riding, which I plan explore more by attending horsemanship schools. My passion has always been the bush, and I plan to use my career to give back, which Flor-Hanly will definably help with, due to our large primary producer client base. |

Jelly TangunanAccountant My accounting career started at a manufacturing company in Tarlac. After 6 years of working in a Philippine set up, I decided to start a new international career as an offshore accountant at Flor-Hanly. Having to leave comfort zone is never easy, but the Flor-Hanly team made it so smooth as my colleagues are very welcoming and appreciative in what we do. Flor-Hanly piqued my interest in primary producers’ industry as this is not very common here in Philippines. “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Patrick PaloAccountant I grew up in a small town in Concepcion, Tarlac, Philippines, where my relatives are all farmers, particularly in the rice and corn farming industries. I used to work at a private firm here in the Philippines for 2 years after I graduated from university in 2020, and I would say that I found excitement and fulfillment in working with Australian clients. Flor-Hanly made me feel that, even though I am not an Australian, I really felt I belonged to the group. I’m a proud Australian in heart. Without my mom's guidance that I need to study accounting at university because she herself is an accountant here, I wouldn't have had an opportunity to meet the Flor-Hanly team and work with the clients. She is a great accountant for me, and she is my inspiration. I am grateful for her. She always teaches me how to be a good accountant. |
