The new hires include Ketaki Pataskar and Kira Maisenyenka, both Senior Manager Accountants at ABN Australia. ABN Australia has also promoted Manraj Singh to Senior Client Manager, recognising his consistent delivery of high-quality client outcomes and the firm’s commitment to nurturing talent.

With over 15 years of experience, Ketaki specialises in compliance, tax planning and complex engagements. A dual-qualified Chartered Accountant in India and Certified Public Accountant in Australia, she is also a recipient of the National Dux Award from the Tax Institute of Australia.

Moreover, Kira, a registered tax agent with a Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Professional Accounting, has extensive experience in Xero implementation, tax compliance and financial reporting. Combining commercial and public practice expertise, Kira delivers tailored solutions that ensure a smooth transition and strong foundation for foreign subsidiaries and permanent establishments in Australia.

“Finding the right people for these roles has not been easy. The Australian labour market is incredibly competitive, and finding professionals with the right mix of skills, experience and a client-focused mindset has been quite the challenge. That is why I am genuinely excited to welcome Manraj, Ketaki and Kira to the team. They bring a wealth of expertise and a positive attitude that I am confident will benefit our clients and align perfectly with the values we hold at ABN Australia,” said Managing Director Aaron Garry.

The appointments and promotion are part of ABN Australia's broader strategy to strengthen the quality and consistency of support offered to our clients. To further expand capacity, ABN Australia has also been recruiting Intermediate Accountants and Bookkeepers to maintain its high standards amid increasing demand.

ABN Australia is introducing this streamlined team structure so that each client will receive a dedicated support. This new model is designed to simplify client interactions and provide proactive, responsive service tailored to the complex needs of businesses entering the Australian market.

The new senior team members will be formally introduced to clients early next year, as ABN Australia continues its commitment to delivering responsive and reliable support for international clients expanding their businesses in the Australian market.
