Elise Stewart
Director
Business & Taxation Services
Elise is a hard-working, dedicated accounting specialist who has established a sound reputation for being a proficient advisor since beginning her career in 2011.
She joined Johnsons MME in July 2023 after returning to her home town Albury, after six and a half years in Sydney. Elise’s current focus at Johnsons MME is the Wangaratta team. This involves managing tax compliance & reporting issues for a diverse range of businesses, including primary production businesses – along with assisting all team members, from client services, junior accountants to managers with their day to day needs.
Four of these ‘Sydney’ years Elise spent with Accru Felsers, which is a part of an award-winning network of accounting firms in Australia and well-known in the international business space.
Elise’s focus during this time was managing tax compliance & reporting issues for a diverse and interesting range of businesses – from multinationals to local family groups, along with completing complex tax advice, tax due diligence pieces and assisting with an IPO.
Elise is a perceptive and logical thinker who likes to keep ahead of relevant financial issues and translate complex accounting issues into real world advice. Elise finds it rewarding to help her clients achieve their business and financial goals.
In her spare time, Elise works with a remarkable group of committee members on the Albury Wodonga Regional Chartered Accountants Committee, which encourages Chartered Accountants to remain connected to the CA profession throughout their careers, and offers a place for feedback, professional training and networking events, within the accounting industry.
In May 2022 Elise completed her Master of Taxation at UNSW, which has further enhanced her knowledge and ability to problem solve and assist clients with a varied range of tax issues that arise through doing business in Australia and beyond.
Elise’s specialties are Accounting, Tax, Foreign taxation issues, Business Management, and Wealth Creation.
Elise became a Director of Johnsons MME on 1 July 2025.
