Laura Coatsworth

Director

► ABOUT LAURA

As a Director at Ipsum Advisors, I oversee key client relationships and lead our team of accountants and support staff. My day is typically a balance of client meetings, mentoring team members, and managing our internal finance and HR functions.

I enjoy working strategically with clients and take a holistic approach to their tax, accounting, and financial needs—always keeping their long-term goals in focus. My strength lies in breaking down complex tax legislation into plain language that’s easy to understand. I’m commercially minded and practical in the advice I give, drawing on over a decade of firsthand experience in the day-to-day operations and strategic direction of our firm since stepping into the Director role 13 years ago.

Technically, I have a strong interest in business restructures and the application of Small Business Capital Gains Tax concessions. I completed a Bachelor of Business at RMIT in 2005 and became a Chartered Accountant in 2009.

Outside the office, I love unwinding at home with my family—usually cooking up a storm with a glass of wine in hand or being drawn into my daughter’s latest imaginative adventure.
