With more than two decades of experience across Big 4, public accounting, and industry, Jane brings a rare combination of technical depth and real-world operating perspective to every engagement. She has worked in and alongside companies just like the clients Koru Accountancy serves: growing, complex organizations navigating change, expansion, and heightened tax scrutiny.
Jane’s career spans public and large private companies, where she has supported organizations through M&A activity, private equity transactions, multi-jurisdiction growth, and structural transformation. She has led corporate tax and global compliance efforts covering bookkeeping, statutory reporting, indirect tax, and income tax compliance, always with a focus on building durable processes and scalable tax operations. She has worked extensively with high-growth technology, life sciences, and biotech companies, supporting organizations operating in highly regulated, innovation-driven environments.
What sets Jane apart is her ability to step seamlessly into the business. Having sat on both sides of the table, she understands the pressures finance leaders face and provides pragmatic, executive-level guidance that aligns tax strategy with business objectives. Her approach is collaborative, hands-on, and grounded in long-term partnership.
