Jocelyn Cannington
Manager
Professional qualifications
B.Comm - Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting and Commercial Law) - Deakin
Jocelyn grew up on her family’s grain farm in Saskatchewan, Canada and moved to Australia almost ten years ago. She has worked in a variety industries but finally found her passion as an accountant in public practise. Her accounting career in Australian Tax now spans over six years and includes working in both small and large practises including nearly three years within PricewaterhouseCoopers’ tax practise. After much thought she determined that the more personal nature and in particular the culture and values of SAS suited her best. This resulted in her joining the team full time in July 2011.
Outside of work Jocelyn is a keen cook which is often shared with friends and family, especially her husband and their two furry cat children. Since becoming an Aussie, she has also developed a passion for cricket, Aussie Rules (Essendon Bombers) and a cold beer in summer (who is she kidding beer = anytime 😃). Jocelyn may also be seen on two wheels as she attempts to master this thing they call cycling. She has also set herself a goal of getting some additional stamps in her passport sometime soon.
