Catherine Chalmers

Senior Accountant

► ABOUT CATHERINE

I’m a Senior Accountant at Ipsum Advisors and a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to compliance. I work with a wide range of businesses, preparing BAS, managing reporting obligations, answering tax and bookkeeping queries, and helping train and support junior staff.

What I enjoy most is when clients are genuinely appreciative of the help I provide. I love chatting with clients regularly, hearing about what’s going on in their lives before we dive into the nitty gritty of tax. I believe you can achieve far more for someone when you really know them on a personal level. My goal is to make sure every client feels like they can reach out at any time—no matter how big or small the issue.

I bring a bubbly attitude to every client interaction (and love a good chat!). Coming from a farming background, I especially enjoy working with clients in the agriculture sector, as well as supporting ‘Mum and Dad’ business owners who are building something meaningful for their families.

I completed a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Business Law) in 2016 and became a Chartered Accountant in 2024.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends—especially my partner Sam and our two kelpies, Ned and Lenny. I love heading back to my parents’ farm for some fresh air, baking something sweet, or winding down with a quiet night in and a good movie.
