Our fantastic Contractors

Naomi Deacon

Naomi joined us in 2024 and has become a key team member of K.I.S. Accounting & Bookkeeping Professionals. She has a Ph.D. and a background in research. Utilising advanced data analytical skills and understanding she provides a unique service that you won’t find with other bookkeepers.

Naomi used to be a medical scientist, but felt she was sacrificing her whole life for her career, so about 5 years ago she made the decision to change careers.

“I love data analysis, problem solving, feeling a sense of accomplishment from my work and travelling; and I found bookkeeping was the perfect career to tick every box! I have been working with K.I.S. Accounting for over a year and love working with Heather and being able to learn from her many years of experience. I also love being able to help business owners by getting their books clean and tidy and up to date, so they don’t have to worry about their accounts and can focus on running their business, as I feel like the work I’m doing actually makes a difference to people. I also now have the freedom to work while I travel around Australia full-time!

While I have a B.Sc. and Ph.D. which I am no longer using, I also have a Cert. IV in Bookkeeping and Accounting and am currently completing a Diploma of Accounting, and am working towards registration as a BAS/Tax Agent. “
