Kylie Barratt
Business Advisor
Kylie began her career straight after finishing high school as an undergraduate at KPMG Sydney and quickly progressed to Manager. During her 10 years at KPMG she enjoyed a couple of international secondments to KPMG’s offices in Chicago and London.
In 2006 Kylie and her husband Adam packed their bags and took flight to London. She worked at one of the world’s leading banks and spent many weekends jetting off to Europe. After three English winters it was time to come back to Australia.
Kylie has lived on the Sunshine Coast since 2010. Kylie joined the MJJ team in June 2016 and brings with her over twenty years of accounting and tax experience, with the last six years spent working closely with Sunshine Coast business owners.
Accounting for Kylie is more than just number crunching and compliance services; she enjoys working with business owners to assist them in achieving their business and lifestyle goals.
When not in the office, Kylie spends time with her two young children Harper and Brax, two fur babies and husband Adam. She loves good food, wine & coffee (not necessarily in that order!), and is often found in her kitchen trying out new recipes or out enjoying one of the Coast’s fabulous local restaurants or cafes.
