Walter Hockings
DIRECTOR, Bcom, JP, Tax Agent, FTI
Walter understands small business tax requirements from the inside, having worked in his family’s business for several years before acquiring O’Neills Accountants in 2019.
As a director and financial controller, Walter developed additional skillsets such as credit and debtor control, risk analysis, Queensland and Western Australia payroll tax skills and monthly reporting for groups. He brings these insights to work with our current clients by guiding them to apply accounting and taxation legislation in a practical manner. After graduating from Bond University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in accountancy (Bcom), Walter spent several years working in accounting firms providing business services advice. He has also completed a Graduate Certificate in Taxation (GradCertTax) at Curtin University. He is a registered tax agent with the Tax Practitioners Board and a fellow of The Tax Institute.
