Fiona Crook FIPA

Fiona joined Carbon in 2022 when her firm, O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors, partnered with Carbon to launch our first office in Parafield, South Australia.

Fiona found her way to accounting after many years of working in other industries and roles and constantly being told she should be an accountant. In her words, she finally saw the light in her mid-thirties and became an accountant.

Working with clients is at the top of the list of Fiona’s favourite things about being an accountant. Being able to work closely with her clients and get great results for them motivates Fiona to continually strive further. The ability to add value to a client’s business journey is a big achievement for Fiona.

Business tips from Fiona

• Understand what cash flow is and how important it is to your business!
• Keep the communication lines open with your accountant, even if you’re not sure it’s something we need to know.
• Be willing to take advice from others, as you never know how their experience can benefit you.

Get to know Fiona

Fiona grew up in Woomera, South Australia, during the space program years. Growing up in the outback was fantastic for Fiona, there was so much freedom to explore.

A little-known fact about Fiona is she’s a secret petrol head! She currently has a Ford XB Coupe (Mad Max car) as well as another Ford BA GT Falcon that only goes out in perfect weather conditions…unless there’s a special day at the race track.
