About Veronica Nguyen

I’m a commercially minded finance professional with over 5 years of hands-on experience leading accounting and finance functions across the transport, construction, and dealership sectors in Queensland. I specialise in end-to-end financial operations, from payroll and BAS to job costing, forecasting, compliance, and reporting. I don't just keep the books, I fix broken processes, tighten controls, and give management clear insights that drive better decisions.Currently leading the finance function at Lawrence RV, I’ve rebuilt financial systems, cleaned up legacy accounts, streamlined month-end, and introduced more robust reporting and cashflow processes, all while juggling high-volume transactions and tight dealership deadlines.I’m an Associate Member of CPA Australia and hold a Master’s degree in Professional Accounting and Applied Finance. My experience is backed by solid system knowledge and my background spans SMEs where being “finance” means doing it all: payroll (including union/EBA), insurance claims, ATO liaising, Payroll Tax, WorkCover, audits, budgeting, and system transitions (MYOB, Xero, Eclipse DMS). I know how to work fast, solve problems, and keep operations moving without dropping the ball.Bilingual in English and Vietnamese, I thrive in diverse teams and bring a grounded, no-fuss approach to finance with a track record of rolling up my sleeves and getting things done.Technical Skills• Full-cycle accounting (AR, AP, GL, reconciliations, payroll, tax compliance)• BAS, IAS, Superannuation, Payroll Tax, QBCC Reporting• Budgeting, forecasting, job costing, cash flow analysis• Financial reporting & audit prep• Payroll – including union/EBA payroll• Legal and insurance claim handling• DMS: Eclipse (Ultimate Business Systems), MYOB (highly proficient), XERO (basic), Reckon Tax Elite (basic)• Microsoft Office (strong Excel, Word, Outlook)Soft/Functional Skills• End-to-end ownership of financial ops in high-pressure, fast-moving environments• Ability to work autonomously and juggle competing deadlines• Stakeholder communication (banks, ATO, external auditors, internal ops)• High attention to detail + accuracy under pressure• Cultural fluency and bilingual (English/Vietnamese)• People management and process improvement experience• Analytical mindset with strong critical thinking• Business partnering and commercial insight
