Today, we take a moment to recognise and celebrate the remarkable career of Gail Holloway, who is finishing up with Next Dimension Accounting.
Gail’s journey in the accounting profession began in December 1986, when she started in a data entry role. In those early days, tax returns were typed on typewriters, letters were dictated, and documents were physically delivered to the Tax Office. It was a very different time – one that Gail navigated with dedication from day one.
Over the years, Gail progressed through a number of roles across multiple firms, gaining experience in reception, administration, tax preparation, ASIC work, bookkeeping, and superannuation. She witnessed firsthand the evolution of accounting systems – from paper-based filing and handwritten records to modern software such as Banklink, Sharesight and STAR.
After returning to work following the birth of her children, Gail expanded her skillset further, taking on tax preparation while continuing to manage busy phone lines and client interactions. Her ability to adapt, learn and grow across each stage of her career is a true testament to her work ethic.
Gail continued her journey through several firm transitions before ultimately joining Next Dimension Accounting when it was established in October 2021. Over the past five years, she has been an integral part of the team, supporting clients with bookkeeping, monthly reporting, tax returns and superannuation funds.
What stands out most about Gail is not just her experience, but her consistency, reliability and willingness to evolve with the industry. From typewriters to cloud accounting, she has embraced every change along the way.
Her story reflects the broader transformation of the accounting profession – and the people behind it who make that transition possible.
Gail, thank you for your decades of contribution, your dedication to your work, and the support you’ve provided to both clients and colleagues. You leave behind a meaningful legacy, and we are incredibly grateful to have been part of your journey.
We wish you all the very best in your next chapter.
