Proudly born and raised in Wairoa, farming certainly runs deep in Jen’s blood. From an early 
age she knew she was destined to be an accountant later in life. Combining her affinity with 
numbers, a passion for helping people, and her farming background – all roads were leading to 
an agribusiness accounting and advisory career pathway.    

Successfully completing her Bachelor of Accountancy Degree from Massey University, Jen was 
also awarded the Massey Scholar Award for graduating in the top 5%. She later went on to 
complete her qualification to become a Chartered Accountant and was a recipient of the

clients and to develop a deeper understanding about what drives them is something incredibly 
special for her. Being a part of her clients’ support network has enabled Jen to take a wider view of the 
situation, pre-empting their needs and bringing ideas for efficiency to the fore to achieve the
