Scott Bennett

Lead Accountant

► ABOUT SCOTT

I’m a Lead Accountant at Ipsum Advisors, where my role is all about supporting clients to achieve their business goals. I also play an active role in helping grow our internal capability—mentoring and developing our team through on-the-job training and knowledge sharing.

I’m a people person at heart. I love getting to know our clients and talking with them regularly. Every client has different goals and priorities, so taking the time to understand what matters to them is key to building a strong, successful business relationship. My aim is always to work closely with clients to help them reach the outcomes they’re striving for.

Having worked in the accounting industry for 15 years, I’ve developed deep experience across a wide range of industries. My background includes time at a large accounting firm, where I worked with clients ranging from small businesses to high-wealth individuals. In particular, I’ve worked with clients in property development, mining and gas, medical, farming/agriculture, and trade-based industries—just to name a few.

I hold a Bachelor of Accounting from La Trobe University Bendigo (2012), where I also majored in Human Resource Management. I completed a Graduate Diploma of Chartered Accounting through CAANZ in 2019.

Outside of work, I’m a long-time member of the Bendigo Umpires Association, where I’ve been field umpiring for over seven years. I also help run training sessions with our field umpires, supporting skill development and knowledge-sharing among members. When I’m not umpiring or working, you’ll find me spending time with family, catching up with friends, or pulling out the guitar for a quick strum.
