Property in your SMSF? time to revalue

It is no secret Australians have a love affair with real estate, with Tod Gillespie it being a hot topic at most weekend barbecues, no matter whether the market is buoyant or at the bottom. Over the past decade Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) have become a more popular choice for individuals wanting to take control of their future.

Team Profile - Melissa Kirby

Baker Affleck is proud to welcome our new team member, accountant Melissa Kirby, who has recently moved to the Gold Coast from Brisbane.

Melissa is studying to be a chartered accountant and is a self-professed “tax geek” so she loves the opportunity to work alongside our experienced tax consultant, Juris Stega.

In her spare time, Melissa likes being with friends, swimming and dancing. She is also keen to take up basketball again now that she is settled on the Gold Coast. Melissa played representative basketball until it took second place to study.

Considering Melissa is 6 foot tall it would be a shame if the Gold Coast basketball fraternity would miss out on such a talent.
