Deanne Macdonald(CA, BBS)

Background

Deanne joined the Business Advisory team as an Accountant in August 2000 and quickly progressed to BAS manager in 2005 before moving into the role of Office General Manager in 2005. Prior to joining Staples Rodway Deanne worked in a range of administrative roles in commercial environments but found her real passion when she moved to Chartered Accountancy. The work environment and team have played a significant part in this as well. Deanne speaks enthusiastically about the directors, staff and clients and the fantastic opportunities saying "I've been able to grow and develop a career and have achieved more than I ever thought I would".

Specialist Areas

As General Manager Deanne handles the firm's internal accounting, manages the administration team, acts as facilities manager and also serves a vital role of substitute mother and counsellor to staff in need! As a very people oriented person Deanne has always enjoyed relationship building and has also continued to work with several key BAS clients along with her internal role.

Personal Interests

Away from her extended office 'family' Deanne enjoys spending time with her own family - Husband Bruce and children Sarah and Duncan - although with both now at University this can be a rare occurrence these days. She has a passion for anything to do with netball, either playing or watching and has been part of the office team's social league victories. Bruce and Deanne enjoy getting out for a bit of 'topless' driving in their MX5 and when time allows the family love to escape to their holiday home at Kinloch where reading, walking and relaxing are high on the agenda.
