Kate Bell 

Director

SMSF & ACCOUNTING

Kate cares deeply for others. She is interested in people and their lives. Perhaps that’s why she seems to know everyone.

Kate loves applying her extensive experience to helping family businesses succeed. Family businesses are made up of people after all.

Kate also leads our Self-Managed Super team with Reina Patel.

Nathan Durrant 

Director

ACCOUNTING & LOANS

Nathan is ambitious. He works hard for his client’s success. He expects his team to work hard for his client’s success.

Nathan builds great relationships with people. Sometimes he builds those relationships over a beer.

Nathan drives system and strategy implementation at Equals Three (and with his clients).

Paul Stoddart 

Director

ACCOUNTING & LOANS

Paul works too hard. He can’t help it. He loves it.

Paul believes in the power of family business to improve the lives of business owners and their families. He’s been working on improving his clients’ lives, right here at Equals Three since 1996.

Paul also supports Daniel Bruce in leading our Mortgage Broking team.

Trent Trinity 

Director

ACCOUNTING & BOOKKEEPING

The best way to locate Trent is to listen out for his laugh. Family business can be tough at times. It is also meant to be fun. It’s fun with Trent.

Trent will find the joy in almost anything. Some of the things he finds joy in are: clients not paying too much tax, successful family businesses and spending time with his clients.

Trent also leads our Bookkeeping team with Carla Evans.

Dan Bruce 

Director

LOANS

Dan is a problem solver who doesn’t take no for an answer. He spent many years working in his family’s business. He now loves getting great loans for other people’s family businesses.

Dan works closely with our accounting team to get the right loans, at the right rate, for our clients’ homes, investments, businesses, and Self-Managed Superannuation Funds.

Dan would love to write some easy mortgages. Maybe one day. For now, let’s keep challenging him.

Carla Evans 

Team Leader

BOOKKEEPING

Equals Three clients have told us how wonderful Carla is for a couple of decades. After a long stint as our internal accounts “team,” Carla started doing what she did for us, for our clients. Carla and her bookkeeping team use the latest cloud technologies to take the bookkeeping load off our clients so they can do what they do best.

If bookkeeping is a weeding-the-garden chore or you are looking to outsource your internal accounts function, talk to Carla—she’s wonderful.

Davi Hou 

Team Leader

ACCOUNTING

If every family business could have a team of Davi’s working for them the world would be a better place. We don’t want to cry about it, but the accounting game can sometimes be a bit stressful. Somehow Davi takes it in his stride.

His cool demeanor takes the stress out of it for everyone, especially his clients.
Davi is an incredible mentor to his team of accountants.

He is a great accountant to have on your side.

Michael te Velde 

Team Leader

ACCOUNTING

Michael has travelled far and wide from the farm. He’s been everywhere, man, and gained invaluable experience helping his family business clients. We and our clients hope that he has found his forever home leading the team in our Thirroul office.

He is a great bloke (we know, high praise). He is also a great accountant invested in the success of his team and clients. 

Reina Patel 

Team Leader

SMSF

Accountants love super. It’s a legal tax haven. Our clients have been using self-managed super to protect and build wealth since the 1990s.

Yes, super is great, but it is also highly regulated and can be complex. Thankfully, Reina is great with regulations and complexity! She has used her vast experience to build a team at Equals Three, specialising in Self-Managed Super. They deal with the complex so that Equals Three clients can take control of their super.
