Our Team

Meet The Experts

Krish Ravipati

Director

I’m Krish Ravipati, CPA and Director of Accounts Advantage. I took over leadership of the firm in 2023, backed by the same experienced team that has supported Queensland businesses for years, and since then I’ve sharpened our focus on the three areas where we add the most value: construction, childcare, and business advisory.

Construction is where I’ve built deep, hands-on expertise in my own right. I’ve personally trained over 500 people across the Queensland construction industry and implemented Cheops, a specialist construction ERP, for around 70 construction businesses. Cheops still calls on me directly for complex implementations and operational reviews, which speaks to the level of trust I’ve earned in this space.

Childcare has been one of this firm’s specialisations from the start, and it’s a strength we’ve continued to build on. We currently look after more than 70 childcare centres across Queensland, and I understand CCS funding, compliance obligations, and the payroll complexity that comes with running a centre, inside and out.

Beyond compliance, I work directly with business owners as a CFO advisor, providing cash flow forecasting, margin analysis, budgeting, and the kind of decision support that turns your numbers into confident decisions.

If you want a bookkeeping and advisory partner who genuinely knows your industry and your numbers, get in touch.

Lisa Walker

Practice Manager

I am the Practice Manager at Accounts Advantage and have been with the team since 2017. I oversee the day-to-day operations of the business, managing a dedicated team of more than ten who deliver payroll, payables, bookkeeping and compliance services to our clients.

As a Registered BAS with over 30 years of experience in accounts and bookkeeping, I have worked with many small to medium businesses across a range of industries including manufacturing, not-for-profit, retail, trade and the training sector. Since joining Accounts Advantage, I have also gained extensive knowledge of the Childcare sector and the ever-changing environment it provides.

In my downtime, I enjoy researching my next travel destination and spending valuable time with my husband and two children.

Jodie Weston

Payroll Manager

I’ve been with Accounts Advantage for over 11 years and am proud to lead our Payroll team. As a Registered BAS Agent with a Certificate IV in Accounting, I’ve built a strong foundation in payroll and have experience working across a wide range of payroll and accounting software.

 

I love the challenge that payroll brings, and I enjoy keeping up with the ever changing legislation and regulations to ensure our clients receive accurate, efficient and compliant payroll support. Building long-term relationships is one of the most rewarding parts of my role, and I’m fortunate to have worked with some of my clients for over a decade.

 

When I’m not at work, life revolves around my young family. Whether I’m at the gym, playing footy, cheering on the kids from the sidelines, camping, or renovating our home, I love making the most of the outdoors and spending time with loved ones.
