Frans Van Der Merwe - Senior Accountant, Nowra Taxation Service — Michael Shen

Principle, B Com (Acc),
NTAAF, CPA
Registered Tax Agent

With over a decade of hands-on experience in public practice, I bring a deep, practical understanding of taxation, accounting, and business advisory services. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from the University of Canberra and am a CPA, Registered Tax Agent, and member of the National Tax & Accountants Association (NTAA).

I have worked with a wide range of clients—from sole traders and family businesses to companies, trusts, and SMSFs. My focus has always been on delivering high-quality, cost-effective advice that makes a real difference. I understand the challenges individuals and business owners face: managing compliance, navigating complex tax rules, planning for retirement, and structuring for growth.

At Nowra Taxation Service, I lead our team in providing personalised service with a focus on practical solutions and clear communication. Whether it’s income tax, BAS/IAS, financial statements, or SMSF administration, I bring both technical expertise and a strong commitment to helping clients achieve lasting success.

My philosophy is simple: clarity, integrity, and results that support clients’ long-term financial wellbeing.
