Heffron managing director Meg Heffron has praised the expertise of the firm’s SMSF technical and education services director, Leigh Mansell, on the 20th anniversary of her employment with the group.
In a blog post last week, Heffron said she and Mansell had known each other since the early 90’s and worked together in their first job after graduating from university and then after working in a number of other roles, rejoined her former colleagues when hired at Heffron in early 2001.
She said Mansell, who had qualified as a Chartered Accountant, had transitioned from SMSF administration and accounting to expanding her technical expertise and became one of the firm’s lead consultants.
“Today, there would be no doubting Leigh is a significant force in the SMSF industry – she is a leading technical expert, a nationally acclaimed educator and (in my view) the queen of practical, down to earth workshops,” Heffron noted.
“She has enormous respect both within Heffron and in our wider industry and has played a major role in the firm we’ve become.
Mansell was also credited as a major contributor to the technical expertise within the Heffron Super Companion and Heffron Super Toolkit, which were described as a continuation of her “work of taking complex and extensive technical knowledge and making it simple and accessible to our clients any time, any place”.
