Professional Practice
Roslyn is a Chartered Accountant and worked in public practice for 6 years early in her career. During this time she quickly took on a role as mentor and trainer for all new trainees. Roslyn specialised in accounting and taxation for the rural sector, working with large and small primary production businesses diversified across a large range of rural enterprises.

During 2001 she consulted to the Department of Finance and Administration as a budgeting specialist helping with the implementation of accrual accounting and zero based budgeting. Due to a high demand for accounting staff in Canberra, Roslyn stayed with the department for 7months preparing the monthly financial statements for the Resource Management Framework Group within the Department.

During 2003/04 Roslyn helped out one of the large Clubs in Canberra with their monthly financial reports while the Club recruited a new CFO. This process ended up taking longer than expected and Roslyn worked as the CFO for about 8months while still managing her own training and consulting company.

She currently provides financial assessment and consultancy services to a number of government departments including DAFF, the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources and the ACT government. She is currently a panel member for the ACT Government Business Springboard Program and has acted as a member of advisory panels for the selection of commonwealth grant recipients.

University and TAFE Lecturer
Roslyn has worked as an Academic at the University of Canberra, the University of New England and the Armidale & District TAFE. Student groups ranged from undergraduate to post graduate students; internal and external students; accounting, management and rural science students; Australian and overseas students, and visiting business groups.

As an Academic she was responsible for the administration of student groups and the development of all course materials. As many students are separated from their family and friends for the first time, a good lecturer is also compassionate to the needs of their students. Roslyn always worked with her students in order to help them achieve their goals.

At both the University of New England and the University of Canberra, Roslyn was instrumental in establishing a link between the accounting student body and the professional associations. Roslyn also implemented the first Young Australia Achievement Program at the University of Canberra.

Roslyn has also worked as a workshop facilitator and examiner for the professional qualifications with the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and has been an assessor for the Institute of Public Administration Australia annual reports awards.
