During my 21 years as Partner with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, apart from 5 years spent in Taxation Consulting, the remainder was spent in the Business Advisory Division. During this time, I was contributor to a variety of professional bodies involving taxation and accounting matters and gained an enormous depth of experience from participation in these forums. This included participating in various committees, giving lectures and seminars and writing various business related articles from local and international publications.

I am a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, an Associate of the Australian Society of CPA's, and a Fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia and a Registered Taxation Agent. I served on the State Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants for 6 years. I also served as State Chairman of the Taxation Institute of Australia, as well as serving on its State Council for many years.

My areas of expertise include:

  • Management Reporting
  • Budget Preparation and Monitoring
  • Tax Planning & Advice
  • Business Benchmarking
  • Business Improvement Programs
  • Business Appraisals
  • Key Performance Indicator Monitoring
  • Superannuation
  • Succession Planning.

I am Adelaide born and bred, married with three children, and have a keen interest in my family, travel, gardening and fishing.


Angela Murphy – B.Com, CA, FTIA

Partner

amurphy@dmca.com.au

Becoming partner in July 2004 is definitely the highlight of my career. I am delighted to be an owner of such a strong, vibrant business.  

I joined the firm in August 1995 as receptionist and am living proof of the career advancement opportunities that exist within our practice.  

I work very closely with my business clients and I enjoy taking an active role in helping all our clients grow their businesses but at the same time find balance in their lives.  

I am always looking for ways to improve the business development division of our firm by finding new and better ways for our clients to do business.  

I've been instrumental in developing our portfolio administration service and believe that this provides a much needed solution to many of our clients. This service is another way for us to help relieve the pressure on our clients' lives to give them the freedom to spend time doing the things they enjoy.  

I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in Accounting.  I am also a Fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia and a Registered Taxation Agent.  

My areas of expertise include:

  • Management Reporting
  • Budget Preparation and Monitoring
  • Tax Planning & Advice
  • Business Benchmarking
  • Business Improvement Programs
  • Business Appraisals
  • Key Performance Indicator Monitoring
  • Superannuation
  • Portfolio Administration
  • Succession Planning.


Tania Tonkin - B.Acc, CA, FTIA, Dip. FS (Financial Planning)

Partner

ttonkin@dmca.com.au 

Soon after joining the dmca team in January 2007 it was very clear to me that this was where my future was to be.  With a fantastic team of people committed to helping clients in all aspects of their business and personal financial affairs, I was more than happy to accept the opportunity to join Ian & Angela as a partner in dmca from 1 July 2009.  I therefore look forward to sharing in the ownership and future direction of the business well into the future.

 

Working for various accounting firms in Adelaide over a period of more than 20 years, I have gained a sound knowledge and well rounded experience in the core areas of accounting and taxation compliance including tax planning, business planning and structuring, succession planning and management reporting.

 

In particular I have a strong interest and extensive knowledge in relation to self-managed superannuation including overall wealth management & planning.  This helps us to work closely with our clients to achieve the best possible integration between their business and personal wealth management from inception through to future generations.  Further to this I have recently completed a Diploma of Financial Services to support my skills, experience and interest in this area.  I am also a Chartered Accountant and Fellow Member of the Taxation Institute of Australia.

 

I recognise that our clients are our business and as a team we have a great appreciation for the strong relationships we build & maintain with our clients.  To this end our focus is to nurture these relationships by working hard to provide the best service to our clients at all times.

 

On a personal note I am also a mum to two wonderful children who keep me busy outside of work and provide me with many rewarding moments.  I also enjoy taking time out with my family by heading down to Victor Harbor & surrounding areas whenever I can, together with wining, dining, reading, social netball & tennis.


Jacqui Lea - B. Com

Accountant 

jlea@dmca.com.au  

I originally joined the firm back in May 2000, and after living in Brisbane for 3 years returned to Adelaide in June 2006. 

There was never a question as to where I would work when I returned, for one quality that separates dmca from other accounting firms is its "active" encouragement of employee participation in the success of the firm.  Your ideas are recognised and you have backup support at every step.

I completed a Bachelor of Commerce back in April 2004 and recently completed the CPA Program.  My background is in both commercial business and chartered accounting, going back almost 17 years.

After having my first child last year I am working permanent-part-time, balancing an busy home life with my professional career and loving every minute!


Karen Cocks - B. Acc, CPA 

Accountant

karenc@dmca.com.au  

A business services accountant for almost 15 years my experience includes accounting and taxation compliance as well as monthly management reporting for the hotel industry.

I am a Certified Practising Accountant with over ten years of membership and my qualifications include a Bachelor of Accountancy, Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies, and a Bachelor of Economics.

A mother of two young girls I was looking for a professional practice which encourages employees to embrace the challenges of a career and a family.  A pleasant office environment offering support, flexibility, continued professional development, and the latest technology.  So in March 2009 I joined the dmca team.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
