Mike Nalder

Mike and his family moved to Port Macquarie in 1988, and after years of working for other accounting firms or in conjunction with partners, he decided to go out on his own and started up Mike’s Tax and Accounting. For the next ten years, Mike and his wife, Jenny, spent countless hours serving locals and those afar. In 2023 Mike decided it was time to pass the calculator along, and his daughter Tanya Brunner took over the reins. Tanya had been working with Mike for several years by this stage and was a familiar face to clients. Mike and Jenny are still regulars in the office, just to say hi, and are thoroughly enjoying retirement. Mike’s face still decorates the windows, and as they say, he hasn’t aged a day.

Tanya Brunner

She was working in aged care when she received the call from Mum and Dad to come and learn the family trade. Though a big change, she thoroughly enjoyed the new career, and when the time came for Mike to retire, she felt it was a natural progression to take over. Though when asked the big question, “When will it be her face on the window?” the general response is never!

Kirrilea Stafford

Has over 12 years of experience in the industry, first as a tax consultant and now as a registered tax agent. She brings to the office a wealth of knowledge of the tax system and ATO requirements for mums, dads, and small businesses. She has a passion for creating a positive customer service experience and approaches each day with coffee and a smile.

Karen Puschmann

Has been an in-house book-keeper for various accounting practices for over 25 years and a registered BAS agent for 10 years. She is our expert on all things companies and self-managed super funds. Karen is our resident Rottweiler and enjoys sorting the “Shoe Box” to create the financial picture. Karen loves her coffee from Luigi’s every morning. Watch out if she needs another one in the afternoon.

Steve Mullens

Has been a tax consultant for the last 8 years and has been employed in the finance and accounting areas for the last 30 years. He has held managerial roles in sales companies, private enterprises, and community organisations. He is not only a number cruncher, but he also enjoys the personal touch that is encouraged at Mike’s Tax and Accounting.

Ash Stafford

Is the friendly face at the front desk. When she’s not at the front desk, you will find her curled up with a good book. After many years in hospitality, she has made the change to all things tax and is currently studying to be able to assist with the completion of tax returns.
